You might want to make sure that if your motherboard has a jumper to enbable
the mouse that it is actually set to enable. I have seen this problem on
ASUS boards with Award BIOSes. If the jumper isn't set to enable, the mouse
will be detected, but any attempts to use it will lock the keyboard.
Just something to look for.
