It's worth checking in Device Manager for conflicts.  Right-click on My
Computer, choose Properties, and then the Device Manager tab.  A yellow
question mark or exclamation mark indicates a problem of some kind -
choose Properties for any devices marked this way for more information
about the problem.  A red cross means the device has been disabled.
Particularly check the Mouse and Ports sections, and if you suspect the
video card, then under Display Adapters too.
