on my old computer i use a ps2 mouse with e convertor jack that allows the ps2 mouse toi connect via a serial port
i have now bought an optical mouse but it wont work through the same convertor jack
-
Better to use the PS2 port.
-
the computer does not have a ps2 port that s why i'm using the ps2 to serial convertor.
-
Have you attempted to install the drivers that may have come with the mouse?

Hate to tell you...but...if it has no PS2 port...the computer is not even a Pentium 1. The mouse you just bought is worth more than the computer.
Supply more info on computer (make, model) and what version of DOS and/or Windows you are using.

computer - pentium 1
cpu - mmx 166mhz
64 meg ram
yes i installed the drivers that came with the mouse
i get the red light at the base of the mouse to light up but thats as far as get to making it work.

Are you certain you have no PS/2 port? It may be black rather than the colour of your mouse's plug.

It should be the port directly above the keyboard port. If it's a tower, it's to the side.
