Jump to Posta) You can always "click" using keyboard.
b) If it is USB mouse, try PS/2 if possible. (vice-versa)
Jump to PostThis is PS/2 port. Both keyboard and mouse could be plugged in PS/2 ports and it is universal. USB ports can be a problem on new boards in conjuction with XP. Problem being that needed USB drivers aren't included with XP and generic ones don't work.
Jump to PostMaybe your PC simply freezes?
Try skipping the ethernet driver. You can always install it post-setup.
Jump to PostCould you post the specs? (Motherboard model or laptop model)
Jump to PostGetting PS/2 keyboard or USB-PS/2 converter could bypass your problem. My guess is that it is a problem with obvious lack of drivers that XP comes with. (hence the need of f6 drivers and floppy drive)
Other way to solve your problem (permanently) is to slipstream the drivers …
