I found out through  substitution that the PS 2 MOUSE   probably was 
faulty....I tried a USB  type of mouse from an old laaptop,
and plugged it into one of the USB ports in the back of the  computer, 
and it woiked!!! However, it too is slightly  faulty, so , may have to 
buy another.

I am wonderring: how to connect my old computer which used to be 
connected to the Cable Modem at the same time as my other machine? (I am 
penny pinchin'  :=p)
