Computer mouse doesnt work

what^

 

what^^^

 

Have you checked the BIOS yet for that option I mentioned? What is the model of your Dell machine. I can try to look it up for you.

 

All i see is dell window 7 home premium OA 537s Inspiron

 

The option I was asking about doesn't appear to be in your bios.

 

so what can i do than?

 

One recommendation I saw on Tom's Hardware, was to unplug the computer for a few minutes and then plug it back in. For one user, that seemed to reset something. He said a drive he plugged in had caused the hardware to mess up.

Here's a dell site with some suggestions:

Are there any other USB devices at all besides the keyboard plugged in? If so, unplug them. Try mice again.

Also, go to support.dell.com, enter your service tag off the tower/case, and look up any available driver updates for your machine. Pay special attention to not only USB but look also for motherboard and chipset drivers. Install any you find.

Last shot, go into device manager (type this in the start box) and it should appear. Check and make sure no items have yellow exclamation points or red Xs on them.

Lastly, windowsupdate and look at optional updates, there are often system level driver updates to be found.

 

Beat it like the printer in office space

 

Delete all drivers, unplug mouse, reboot PC via keyboard. When PC is booting up plug mouse in before windows fully loads. Windows will ask for a driver, install generic. .If it fails, download drivers for mouse from manufacture, delete drivers, unplug mouse, reboot, plug mouse in, say no to driver install, install drivers from manufacture.

I didn't read the thread, just your opening post.

 

control panel, system, then click device manager, look for human interface devices, expand, right click. uninstall, do the same thing for mice and other pointing devices, uninstall hid compliant mouse, again right click and uninstall...

reboot computer with a corded mouse, wait for it to automatically reinstall the devices you removed, it should work once all is right again...

try this first, there are other things you can do, but this should work, if not, come back and I can give you some more tips...

 

will try tomorrow
