    I had the same problem, and a USB to PS/2 adapter fixed it:



    The upside is that they are cheap, the downside is that is you have a high DPI mouse, it will not run at full resolution.

    Maybe so, but Vista is beta software, so you have to expect these difficulties. I would try Liam's idea, or otherwise see if you can hunt down some different mouse drivers.

    Since that one does not work in Vista, get a basic mouse and plug it in also.
    That way you have one that works in Vista and one that worksd in XP.

    Plug one in the ps/2 and hook the other up using the usb.
