Vista PS2 Mouse Does not work

Vista PS2 Mouse Does not work I am trying to use a PS2 mouse with my Vista Home Ultimate (32-bit) machine. Vista installs the driver but says cannot load driver error code 10 in device manager. Driver is Microsoft 6.0.6001.18000 dated 6/21/2006 and is the moust updated version. (I also have a PS2 keyboard connected and working as well as a USB mouse.)

"This is going to sound nuts, but have you tried rebooting? I had this issue with a computer I just built for my father -- I used nothing but USB mice and keyboards while building it, then got it to his place and discovered his were PS/2. The mouse was failing (pointer stuck in the middle, same symptoms as yours). I tried searching here first, in fact. :)

After about 45 minutes of exercising Google-Fu from my phone, I gave up and tried a reboot. Lo and behold, the mouse worked perfectly, and has since."
