USB question

[Forgotten21]

I have a PCG-FR415B and i want to use a normal mouse instead of the touchpad, I have a PS/2 optical mouse and i brought an adaptor the convert the mouse to USB but my laptop doesnt recognise it at all, should it work or do i have to buy a USB mouse? Please help me as i am no good with computers. Thanks

It's normally easier just to buy a USB mouse. There can be problems with USB -> PS/2 adapters.

Make sure that you have the external mouse activated in Sony Notebook Setup or the BIOS.

Yeah adding adapters often cause hassle.
