I have a mouse problem....solved!! solution post #6

Not real life mouse problem, a computer mouse problem...

I can´t get it to work, I´ve tried restarting the comp, unplugging and plugging back in, I tried installing it over but I can´t find the option.... all I can get for installing new hardware is keyboard and drivers, but not a mouse....

when I log to control panel, then onto mouse, I can´t find a way to find out connectivity or response by it...

what can i do.......

mind if I say I´ve been luriking witht he tab key.....*rollseyes* so I have a bit of frustration....

any help?...

What do you mean it doesn't work? Does the wheel/cursor just not move? Have you opened it up and cleaned it? What kind of mouse is it? Or does it just not even register on the screen?

I had that problem and had to buy a new mouse. Frustrating, I know!!!

Could be as simple as a cleaning.

Unplug it, get a small screwdriver, turn it upside down and get it open.

Who knows, you may find Jimmy Hoffa..... :p

the cursor appears mid screen, but it just doesn´t moves......... I tried cleaning it also, all parts are good and moving just not on the screen.....I event tried clicking on something that was placed right under the mouse cursos, and it didn´t worked....... that´s why I think there´s no connection ....*confused*..........

maybe it´s the cable that´s damaged or the plugs, I´m not sure......... aaaand I don´t have a spare one as usual *rollseyes*.......

solved!!!......... I just unplugged the ipod usb and voilá!!......... not sure how that has to do anything with the mouse malfunction but hey it got solved and now fully working.........YAY!!

thanks for the help though........thanks!!
