Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Wireless mouse?

Content Type: text/plain

I have an IBM USB mouse that has a USB-PS/2 converter. Unfortunately,
when I plugged in the converter into the PS/2 mouse port, I got some (if
not all) of the weird effects you got. So I removed the converter and
plugged it into a USB port.
