logitech cordless optical mouse problems...

[William Michael Grim]

Have you tried unplugging the USB portion and just running off of PS/2 or
vice-versa?  I find it hard to believe that a mouse would need to be
plugged into both at once in order to operate.  Running part of the
connection through PS/2 and part through USB might increase speed (you
know, if it worked), but the extra speed would be wasted, since we use
devices so slowly (compared to how fast a computer operates).
