When you buy yourself a new mouse it comes with everything you need, the mouse and the installation software if need be. A mouse can come with two different kinds of connectors. There is the USB connector which is rectangular and can be plugged into the many USB slots in your computer, and then there is the PS/2 connector which is Circular. When installing USB mice you want to make sure all of your programs are saved and closed, when installing a mouse with a PS/2 connector you have to shut your computer down. Mice with USB drives are hot swappable which means they can be plugged in and unplugged while your computer is on and still work.
To plug in a USB mouse you find one of the various USB ports and plug it in, if it isn't going in flip it over and it should, pretty simple stuff really. PS/2 mice are only slightly more complicated, when it comes to these mice you have to find one of the PS/2 ports in the back of your computer then you have to figure out which of the ports is for the mouse, in most it will tell you, but in other cases it'll take a little bit of trial and error, if these mice don't go in just keep twisting and pushing until everything lines up, don't try to force it too hard. Once plugged in most cases you mouse will work instantaneously, if this isn't the case then you may either need to run an install disk that came with the mouse, or you may need to plug it into a different port. For future reference if your mouse becomes really jumpy all it probably needs is a cleaning, if you have screen wipes these work best for the bottoms of optical mice.
