I would appreciate some PS/2 trouble shooting advice.

I recently changed my serial mouse (com 1, irq  4) to a PS/2 mouse (PS/2
port, irq 12). I enabled CMOS irq 12 for primary PS/2 mode, which is
available. Win95 device wizard adds the mouse port with irq 12.

The problem is that the PS/2 mouse only works in windows safe mode. In
normal mode if I touch the mouse the system freezes and I have to reboot.

Device manager in system resources does not show any conflict with other
devices.

I am using Win95 OSR2 with the following devices:

Modem
Serial Port
Ethernet Card (PCI)
SCSI Adapter (PCI)
Soundcard
S-VGA Card (PCI)
3.5 floppy
CD-ROM

Is this an irq conflict? If not what could it be?

Please E-mail to me and post to news groups.

Thank you.
