Article ID: 325975 - Last Review: October 11, 2007 - Revision: 8.3 The light on the pointing device stays lit when you turn the computer off when you connect a Microsoft pointing device to a computer by using the PS2 portThis article was previously published under Q325975 SYMPTOMS When you connect one of the Microsoft pointing devices listed in the "Applies to" section to a computer by using the
PS2 port, the light on the pointing device stays lit when you turn the computer off. CAUSE The PS2 port continues to supply power after you turn the
computer off. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, use the USB port to connect
your device to the computer. If all the available USB ports are in use, you
can purchase a USB hub. A USB hub increases the number of USB devices that you
can connect to your computer. If the continuous mouse light is acceptable to you, you can safely leave the mouse connected to the PS2 port. APPLIES TO
