I have an old pressure sensitive mouse that I
can't go without, I type with a typing stick due to disabilty so I can't drag
my finger across mousepads or copy/paste with them but I can with this old 8bit
pressure sensitive mouse. It is working fine on my Win7 64bit desktop, my
friend added a serial card inside the desktop. It is installed on Comm4. So I
buy this USB to serial adabter for my laptop
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007T27H8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
It to is listed on comm4 and the device is working properly. But the mouse will
not work on this adapter, in control panel on my desktop I click on mouse and
serial mouse is listed, but on my laptop just the Thinkpad mouse is listed, no
serial mouse. There are no mouse drivers installed on my desktop, well the
standard drivers. Why will the mouse work with a serial card but not a serial
adabter? Yes it's a very old mouse, 8bit but it works great with a serial card
on my win7 64bit desktop, but nothing on my win7 64bit laptop with the usb to
serial adabter listed above. As I stated, the laptop listed the adapter on
comm4 but the mouse will not work or show.....any help???
Thanks
Rudy
