Is device manager showing an installed mouse?.. if it is, then your mouse is
not working.. if it isn't, there is a very good chance that your mouse is
not working.. try installing a mouse driver.. if it installs ok, but your
mouse pointer still will not move, then your mouse is not working.. if you
have access to another mouse, you might want to try it out to determine if
it is a driver problem.. mouse life expectancy is not too long..

PS/2 ports show up as whatever is connected to them.. in your case, a
keyboard and mouse.. possibly an ex-mouse
