SoftIce problem

[jonwil]

Thanks for the info, I am going to try the 10103 thing to see what happens.

Which mouse related settings should I mess with in the "mouse" control panel?

For example, with the mouse I have (Microsoft Intellimouse but with just the wheel, a regular 103 MouseType), I can go in ControlPanel->Mouse->Hardware->Properties->Advanced Settings, and disable the wheel. You should be able to disable the extra buttons, in the hope that this operation makes the packets sent by the mouse more PS/2 compatible...

I've had documented problems w/ SoftIce with *any* mouse on some mainboards. It may be due to non-standard hardware; it is quite possible that SoftIce's drivers do not have the robustness of the WDM drivers (likely, too), and MS mice have changed significantly in recent years wrt actual protocol. Have you attempted to use a basic, two/three-button mouse and/or a PS/2 mouse? YMMV.

Alternatively, it is absolutely possible to forgo mouse usage altogether. More to the point, I believe that SoftIce's USB support is almost nonexistent, breaking readily.
