I was using a 4 button/2 scroll wheel mouse on my laptop, for gaming. I dropped the darn thing and now it doesn't work. I have tried fitting a 2 button mouse but though it says the device is working correctly it is not responding.
When checking out the mouse settings on control panel. I find that you don't have all the options for mouse types that you used to get with xp. I have updated drivers. And for some reason it use 'symantics pointing devices' rather than a Microsoft system. Is this normal for Vista or just a bolt on from the laptop manufacturer?
Second question, .... plural of computer mouse is .... mice,mouses or meece?

Wrong cartoon cat (and wrong sentiment) I think. It was Hanna-Barbera's Mr Jinks who frequently declared "I hate meeces to pieces". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixie_and_Dixie_and_Mr._Jinks

probably delete the mouse driver... USB HID device .... reboot then put mouse in USB port & all should work after a short auto setup period
Quote from: rogadodge No is usb. I get the message about loading drivers. Then OS ready to use, bit no response. Cursor just sits there. The laser is on tho. Most odd

Click on the System and Maintenance link.
Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply double-click on the Device Manager icon and then proceed to Step 4.
In the System and Maintenance window, click on the Device Manager link near the bottom of the window.

needed the buttons for gaming. WoW. sad I know, but hey we all got to have a vice.
Found this problem particularly annoying as I managed to switch off the touchpad many months ago and am unable to switch that back on. I must stop fiddling, but kept putting thumb on touchpad when playing game and thought my machine was haunted when the character ran off on his own.
I have reloaded drivers for touchpad but still won't work. Though if it would i would just switch it off again.
The mouse/meeces debate, I am sure you are right Reedrichards. And Rodents is genus surely?
I know the plural for a banker is ....a wunch of bankers

On my Acer it's Fn + F7
Very useful to stop the cursor jumping about when you accidentally brush the touchpad whilst typing something.
Would probably mention it in your manual if it has.
