mouse problems w/ SOYO board?

[ablang]

Does anyone else have mouse problems matching up any mouse with a SOYO motherboard?

Here's the details on my system:

Bought 4/6/04 for $50


Case: Mid Tower ATX (3-5.25", 3-3.5" bays) w/ 250W P.S. (ATX-2500)
Motherboard: Soyo SY-V6BE+ (Slot 1, 1 AGP, 2 USB, 4 PCI, 3 ISA)
CPU: Intel Pentium III-MMX 500MHz
Memory: 384 MB PC-100 Dimms (Cubig 256 + 128)
Monitor: None
Hard Drive: 8.4 GB Maxtor (88400D8; IDE; 0.4GB bad sectors)
2.1 GB Maxtor (82100A4; IDE)
CD-ROM: BTC 48x (BCD-48SB Internal IDE)
Video Card: ATI Rage 128 (PCI)
CD-RW Drive: Memorex CD-RW4224 (Internal IDE)
DVD-ROM Drive: None
Sound Card: Opti 82c931 (ISA)
Modem: Unknown 56k Internal (PCI)
Network Card: Netgear FA311 (PCI)
Floppy Drive: 1.44MB
Keyboard: Unknown
Mouse: None

Items of my own I added to it:
Mouse: iConcepts (Sakar.com) 4D Wheel Scroll (PS/2, Item #77252)
Mouse: Mouse Systems (Serial, Part #403917-005)

The serial mouse cursor does not move at all, while the PS/2 mouse only moves vertically (tried both individually). How can I fix that? Windows didn't make it work from the beginning, and even downloading the latest drivers does not remedy the problem.

Sounds like and issue with the mouse, not the motherboard.

I'd pop open the mouse and make sure all the wheels are turning properly if it's a ball mouse. If it's optical make sure the lens is clean. If you don't want to be tinkering with the mouse or if you don't think that's the problem then I'd suggest just getting a cheap STANDARD mouse. Standard meaning either Logitech or MS, no other brand.
