Windows device driver information for A4Tech PS/2 Port Mouse
The A4Tech PS/2 Port Mouse is a PS/2 style of mouse that makes use of an individual dedicated port and individual interrupt settings detached from the device's COM ports. A major problem that confronts most users is resource conflicts which have a relation to the 2 IRQ lines and serial ports they use. A system may have as many as 4 COM ports, although by default, only 2 IRQs are shared and they includeIRQ4 and IRQ3. This has a potential of leading to multiple problems which are not easily resolved because most modems and different devices are only capable of using IRQs that are low-numbered from 2-7. The PS/2 style of mouse makes use of IRQ12 which is unused on most systems. This leads to numerous problems when going from the PS/2 style of mouse to a serial port mouse.
- Other USB driver issues. If your USB mouse does not work on the computer, the USB port drivers may be corrupt. Two options for trying to fix corrupt drivers are to restore Windows to a previous point when the USB mouse did work, or uninstall and reinstall the USB port drivers. Activate Windows restore point. If your USB mouse worked previously.
- Locate the driver file using Windows Explorer when the download has completed. Turn your computer power off. Connect the A4Tech OP-3D to your serial port, PS/2, or USB port. Power on the computer to start your windows system. Running the downloaded file will extract all the driver files and setup program into a directory on your hard drive.
- I'm having the same issue with a Dell Latitude E7270 Laptop. Keyboard works initially (F8 and arrow keys) and then during 'starting Windows' it powers off as does the mouse. Both are in a dock and I can get the mouse to power up if I change ports but the mouse driver never installs. The keyboard won't power back on even using the laptops port.
After you have restarted the computer, connect the product to the PS/2 or USB or Audio port on your computer. Window will now recognize your product. Access to Official Website A4Tech Home English Drivers English.

Many PCs have support for PS/2 style of mice and there are of number of steps required when moving from the serial mouse to a PS/2 mouse. The first step is determining whatever is currently being used by checking the PC connection. The port for a PS/2 mouse is a round, small connector while the port for a serial mouse is either a 25-pin or 9-pin D-shaped connector. If a serial mouse is currently being used, then it is important to determine if the PS/2-style mouse is supported by the system. This is enabled by checking the setup program of the BIOS before obtaining a PS/2 mouse which is installed by plugging into its port on the PC. Switching the mouse drivers is an easy task because the PC is capable of detecting change of hardware as well as adjusting the drivers. Finally, the COM Port must be disabled in the setup of the System BIOS. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for Windows and A4Tech PS/2 Port Mouse errors before installing any driver updates.
