zarathustra Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Everyone, I have a Windows ME based system - there is no mouse activity (no pointer arrow) in main mode but it is fully active in safe mode - any ideas? Thanks Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Zara Welcome to FPCH Is this a PS2, USB Corded or Wireless mouse Zara? Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 can you have a look in device manager and see if its there (in safe mode) Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Is it some kind of specialised mouse that needs a specific driver? Have you tried another mouse in the pc or that mouse on any other pc? Quote
zarathustra Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 The mouse shows up in device manager. Its just a basic ps2 mouse - I've tried the soft ware disc and updating driver but it says the best driver is already installed. I've also tried another mouse via the usb ports but still the same. I assume the connections nd mouse are functioning as there is no problem with it in safe mode. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Ok try uninstalling the mouse in device manager keeping the mouse attached and reboot and let ME "find" the mouse again. Quote
zarathustra Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 That's done the trick - Thanks for your help Quote
RandyL Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 What brand of mouse is this? You say it has software that goes with it. Uninstall the software for the mouse, remove the drivers from device manager and reboot. Windows is obviously picking up the mouse with generic Windows drivers as it works in safe mode.
