Mouse stops working after a restart?

[lil layzie]

I'm kinda stumped.

My friend just recently bought an MSI K8N Neo FSR nForce3 motherboard along with an AMD64 3200+ Processor.

The problem is everytime he restarts his computer, the mouse dies. No movement at all. He has to power off and on in order to get the mouse working. So we know the mouse and the port is working. It just happens after a restart. Anyone have any ideas?

It's connected to the ps/2 port btw and it's a cheap $6 mouse.

It has worked well on his previous motherboard with no problems. We know he could just change over to a USB mouse but I'd just thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else encoutered this problem.

Got any suggestions? Thanks.

You local walmart has cheap ass optical mouses for less than $10. If you are going to use cheap hardware and it goes bad, quite trying to find out what's wrong with it and buy another one.
