You do not! Just remove it from the sections of Mice... and HID sections in

Device Manager. Then reboot. XP will automatically re-detect and re-install

these when it find the USB mouse connected to the PC.

In this case, that won't work because the newly installed USB mouse does

not show up in the Device Manager.

 

Thanks.

Then, you may need to have to clean up Device Manager and remove any "ghost" /

unknown devices from your system. Save the following into a batch (.bat) file

and tel Device Manager to "Show hidden devices..."

 

---------- Copy from after this line --------------------

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

cd %SystemRoot%\System32

start devmgmt.msc

 

---- Copy the above lines--------------------------

 

Generic USB mouse drivers are built into XP and the hardware needs to be

correctly detected in order to let XP install the correct drivers.

How do I run the ".bat" file?

 

Will this force me to reinstall software for all devices?

 

Thanks.

Save to a standard text file

 

Rename the file to "cleandm.bat"

 

Just click on this file

 

 

As for the drivers, you will only have to remove the "ghost" or "unknown"

devices. All other USB devices that are working will not be remove. Drivers

that were "added" will not be removed.
