My friend's p/c is unoperatable, she gets a notice stating mouse not

connected. How can we correct this, thank you.

Well, is the mouse plugged in? :confused: If so, try plugging a different mouse in-- that could work.
 
find the end of mouse cable and stick it in the p/c back side :)

ps/2 mouse cord is easy to stick into keyboard hole, maybe that's what happened.
 
Make sure mouse is hooked up to PC when you turn it on ;-)
