Hi, I just did the scannow command and it came out with the following: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation". I'm going to check the BIOS when I restart in the morning, I'll let you know then. Thanks for coming back, by the way!

Hi, thanks for coming back. The only irregularity I can really point out is that when my last mouse (the Technika I'd been using for almost 8 months) started to not respond, Windows would take a long time to start up before advising me to start in Safe Mode. I noticed that this was only when I started the computer with the mouse already in the USB. If I started it without it, everything worked fine, albeit when I did plug it in when the system had started, it still failed to recognize it. I should probably also point out that the USB port clearly knows there's something plugged into it. At the minute with my newest mouse, it installs it as a Human Interface Device and the red light goes on under the mouse itself, etc., etc.

Thanks so much for you help anyway, at least I now know it's a problem with my laptop and not any of the external hardware. You guys are tops.

Hey, just went and checked to see if it was ticked and it wasn't. In fact, the option to tick it doesn't even seem to be there as the box is shaded grey and won't allow me to tick/untick anything.

Hey, yeah the touchpad works absolutely fine without any problems.

Hi, the mouse does have a PSP2 adapter but my laptop doesn't have a PSP2 port, only four USB ports.

Hey, I just tried one of the new mice on a Vista desktop and it works fine, still no joy with the Vista laptop though.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've tried three different mice now (two of them brand new) and am getting the same result with them all. Surely they can't all be faulty?

Hi, just restarted the laptop twice after uninstalling USB ports and mice. First time I used the Speedlink mouse and the second time I used the Technika. Each time I got the same result: mouse works for one or two seconds after the system announces new hardware has been installed but then stops responding.

The mouse works in none of the USB ports, should I uninstall them all and restart?

Downloads - EasyNote MX52 series - platform_ajax_a - Notebook Which should I download?

The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote. Haha, yeah, I know about Technika, but it did work for more than 8 months then stopped all of a sudden (and hasn't worked since).

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm currently using a Packard Bell Easynote. I had a look at their website for the chipset download and got lost in the mix. Is there any way you could link me to which I'd need to download? As for the mice, I've been trying to use a Speedlink Dual Light Mouse and a run of the mill Technika Optical mouse, both of which stated were compatible with Vista.

Yeah, I have tried it in four different ports and get much of the same response. Works for two or three seconds then stops.

Hi, thanks for the help in advance. I'm having some mouse trouble at the moment. Vista has literally stopped recognizing any/all mice I've tried to install. It did the same with my old mouse, so I went out and bought a new one today and it's doing the same. I've installed the new software for the device and it works for two or three seconds before completely freezing. I've tried going to device manager and uninstalling the device (which shows up only as HiD compliant mouse under "mice and other pointing devices), but it works again for two or three seconds then stops. I'm not sure whether it's the port at issue either because it recognizes my iPod cord & camera when I plug those into it. It just seems to be mice that it's taking exception to. Any ideas?
