Hi everyone..this might not be the place for this and if not please forgive me. I just don't know where to turn...I installed a new mouse...laser...a few days ago and now I cannot use my PED basic...I am working on e machines XP and there are two ports....but when I plug my PED into the second port the computer will not recognize it and I cannot use it. Is there a simple solution or do I have to get a PC Guru to help me...I thought maybe one of you has come upon this problem before...thanks for any help you can give me. My husband is out looking for an adapter now....I went into my computer control panel and searched for hours trying to figure out what to do...If I disconnect my mouse and put in my PED then I have no mouse to point with...what a mess....I am almost ready to go back to the old mouse...thanks much....Ria PS if I dont respond on here and am gone for awhile it means my pc crashed....oh no!!!!!!!! Ria

Sometimes it seems that computers are way more frustrating than any other machine doesn't it. Glad you got it figured out and you have a hubby that is computer literate! Mine isn't!
