When I was originally called on the House Call, the complaint was
that the wireless mouse wouldn't work. She was right. We tried a
PS2 mouse. No luck.
I now have it at home and I was successful installing the miniature
USB mouse that I use with my laptop when travelling.

Any help will be appreciated...

Install the latest motherboard chipset drivers...
Ensure the PS/2 ports are not disabled in the BIOS somehow...
It is conceivable the PS/2 port is bad (if you have tried multiple
devices)...
