    Make sure the mouse and keyboard with the above connectors are attached to the PC before you start the computer. You can't just change them on a running machine or they won't be recognized.

    Did you do as was said earlier and switch off the pc then connect the adapter to your mouse (the green one)plug it into the PC and then switch on.
    Also be careful when you put it in the PC,there are 2 small indentations on the round metal part and these match 2 on the PC input.

    The purple one is for the keyboard.

    If you still have a problem this could be the adapter because the are very easy to break, if it is bent or twisted you could get the symptoms you describe.

    Because of the weight of the green adapter, sometime my mouse loosens from the slot. I've also discovered that not all green adapters go into the computer very well. On one computer I owned, the PS/2 slot was recessed so my husband had to take his dremel moto tool and file away some of the metal on the case so the green adapter would go into the port snuggly.
    Take a look to be sure the adapter is fitting very tight. If it is not, you will have an unresponsive mouse.
