    I have one more problem with docking station. When I put my notebook in docking station, it doesn't recognize my mouse. I have to remove mouse form PS/2 port and put it back in. Same thing happens when it is attached to USB port. However I don't have problem with keyboard, it is always recognized.

    Anybody with same issue?

    Try a different mouse just to see if it still does it

    If your running Vista, its best you use a USB Mouse because vista isnt really compatible with PS/2 anymore. I read somewhere that they are trying to make USB standardised for Vista to get rid of the old ports

    Logitech mice per chance? That set point software's a real bugger.
