I tried installing my old Doom 2 PC game on a newer XP computer with the 
newer connections on the back.  The mouse will not be recognized.  Is there 
some patch to fix this bug?

Why do so hard way? There is new way to run Doom 2 with DirectX or 
OpenGL and full mouse support.

Go to http://www.doomsdayhq.com/ and download there 
(http://www.doomsdayhq.com/files.php?class=1) your OS (Linux, Mac or 
Windows) packet. Direct Windows installer link:

Is your mouse USB or PS/2?

It is PS/2,  but I may have a converter if the USB port is better.

These sites offer JDoom, which is not familiar to me.  Will it fix the mouse 
function and let me play the original game?

Yep. JDoom is an enhanced version of Doom. Same basic game (it uses the same
maps, textures, sounds, etc) but it runs in windows instead of dos, which
solves a whole load of problems, including mouse-related ones. (Windows XP
doesn't work well with dos-based games). Also, there's a ton of new features
built in like high resolution screen modes and texture smoothing which make
the game look a lot better.
