If you're running XP on it, it can't be that

your initial description of what you're doing). Even relatively
inexpensive P1 systems at least had headers on the motherboard for a
PS/2 mouse, if not an outright connector. Many early AT enclosures,
however didn't leave a hole next to the keyboard jack for the mouse,
so you may want to have a look. If it's an ATX-layout machine, then
for certain there's a mouse jack there.
. . . and if it were an old machine, you could use a "bus" mouse.
