How to fix Pc’s mouse issue?

Asked By Micheal 250 points N/A Posted on - 05/15/2011

Hi,

I am using Microsoft windows XP sp2. I am having a wired problem with my mouse. I have a laser USB mouse which is not working properly anymore. Actually, yesterday I was using my PC and suddenly it turned off because power was gone. Before that each and every hardware component of my PC was working fine but after that when I turned-on it there was a problem popping-up in the task bar that my USB mouse device is not working properly.

This is very shocking and irritating for me.
To handle this issue I firstly totally un-installed the USB mouse driver and again installed it but nothing was changed. Then I plugged a flash drive to see whether the USB port is working or not? But my USB ports are fine and it confirms that there is a problem with my mouse or its driver. At last, I bought a new mouse but it is also not working at all. I am very disturbed and shocked due to this problem because it is very much strange for me/or I have not face an issue like this so far.

So, my question is how to fix Pc’s mouse issue?

I am really very worried due to this issue and I want to know the solution of it.

These kinds of problems can occur when there is a short circuit in the mouse or the connecting wire.Please replace your optical mouse with a ball mouse and check whether it works or not. If it works, there is a problem in your operating system. Format your system and it will recover your problem. Or use ps/2 optical mouse. Sometimes it may work. No need to format your system.

Hi dear,

It seems that your USB mouse driver has been corrupted. When try to reinstall it again after uninstalling it, it will recopy the files that were already copied, because these files are in the system storage.

You should try to roll back the mouse driver and try to install it again. Rolling back the driver will restore all of the files to their default settings. If you see the same settings again, then buy a PS2 mouse. I hope this gives you good results.

Thanks.
