PS/2 and USB Mice

Currently have 2 mice installed and working at the same time.

It appears that they are using the same driver.

Some times after re-boot, the PS/2 mouse does not work until the next re-boot.

Does this setup of having 2 mice operating at the same time create any computer operating issues?

OS WinXP Media SP2

no real issues, only the one you are having. I am guessing that it is a player game on one pc, or something like multiplicty for multiple moniters and the like? try updating the drivers on only one mouse (I would do the usb one) or grab a different mouse.
Never begin a job by looking at a computer and saying, or even thinking "this won't take long..."

If all else fails, use a bigger hammer.
