    Hello,

    I have installed solaris 10 on my XP machine using the trial demo of Paralells (and I am close to purchasing it!) but my mouse does not work.

    I have a logitech mouse and keyboard (corded )and the keyboard works just fine but the mouse does not work at all.

    I followed the instructions of one of the users on this forum to install solaris (I had previous solaris experience though so it was not dificult)

    Any ideas why my USB mouse does not work? I even tried to plug it using a ps2 converter and rebooting and same problem.

    Thank you

    Luc

    You need to point Solaris to use PS/2 mouse at installation process, because Parallels emulates PS/2 mouse.
