XP.. Mouse not responding anymore

lastwaltz · 07-02-2008, 08:01 PM

Hey all,

My sister is on a XP computer and as she was playing a game at her computer the other day and exiting it, her mouse suddenly stop responding and has not even since. She tried with another mouse as well but the computer doesn't seem to want to operate them even if, when plugging the other mouse, the computer did signal that it was recognizing it was there. The mouse is USB but she has this kind of green convertor for it that fits into a PS/2 port I suppose.. Sorry for the lack of appropriate terminology. If you have any ideas, please, we'd be very thankful to hear them :)

Hi mate,
when you replaced mouse, did you do that when system was running or you turned off PC and replace mouse???
When you change mouse, you need to turn off PC, replace the mouse and turn PC on...
Also, maybe your PS/2 port stops responding, so you said you have USB mouse... Plug USB mouse and start PC...
Let us know what you did...
Hope this will help you mate...
