Runs only in VGA mode

Hi,

Have been struggling over a day with this now...

I set up a clean Win2000 Server, but it runs only in VGA-mode. When I boot
normally (not safemode) then it freezes just after logging in. I can move
the mouse for maybe ten seconds then hangs. The VGA card drivers have been
installed in order (quite old S3 Trio 32/64 card). Another problem which
could very well be related is that before OS-bootup, the BIOS halts on an
error message "PS2 Mouse Initialization failure" but when I press a key,
both the keyboard and mouse work fine.

Can anybody please point me in the direction where to look?

Thanks
Kees
 
I have the same problem. The error message occurs at startup - I press any key and both keyboard and mouse work fine. We have a "generic" CPU with P4 chip. All we did was change the battery as it was losing time. Can anyone tell me where to look? I checked the keyboard and mouse set up and everything looks fine ("This device is working properly") on both.
