can you not plug the mouse directly into a USB port? PS/2 does require reboots for the port to pick up the periferal iirc (going back 20 odd years here). USB is hot swappable and will detect on the fly. If you don't have a spare USB port, get a USB hub to give you more ports.

However, the real answer has already been said - you really should get a new machine that is up-to-date
