and why is that stupid? i have seen a mouse over heat twice. one was a faulty mouse, the other was indeed the computer. too high voltage on the ps2 port i assume. i dont know about a fire hazzard but worth looking into.

my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!

One of the guys in the office just went and had a look.
According to the user, all other mice when tried on this machine work OK, just this one. And in my 12 years experience, I've never heard of this fault.

It's been sat on my 2nd test machine next to my desk for most of the day, it ain't hot yet! Works a treat though!

My mouse has a phase-change cooler so I can OC it and make it run faster under Q3.

BTW you really can OC the PS/2 port.

I've seen a mouse cause problems for the keyboard, where on POST it gave <b>Keyboard failure. Press F1 to continue</b>.

That was a good one, took a while to figure.

Ok I found the program, you can download it here: <A HREF="http://www.blog.com/files.htm" target="_new">http://www.blog.com/files.htm</A>

A quote from the one who told me about this program:
there is a prog called ps2plus that lets you up the sample rate of the ps2 port thus "overclocking" it. in the real world though it makes little diffrence. the mouse just moves a bit smother in windows.

Just this last summer, I saw that same thing RobD...the keyboard failure thing. Definitely took a while.

believe it or not, it tells you press f10 because it waiting for you to replace the keyboard. most keyboards will work once you plug them in after the computer is on. then you push f10 to boot.
