well I installed hotplug but it does not seem to work. What else to I 
need to do to finish your instructions. For give me for being kind of 
lost. Its a permenant mouse but im using a ps2 adapter for now. The ps/2 
adapter causes my mouse to not be exact in games. if there is any other 
info you need to help me let me know.
