Hi, a couple of weeks ago I bought a new
mouse, a gaming mouse. Was on offer in PC world.

It was the last one, the display one... we only got a discount of Ј1.
I plugged it in, set it all up. It was working for a good 2-3 weeks until one day where I started up
my PC and the little light that normally shows up, saying (I assume) that the mouse is working did not show up!
I could not click on my username or any of them. The mouse did move but it was incredibly slow, lagging really bad. I tried turning my computer off by the plug, turning my monitor on and off but that didn't help. When I noticed the light, so going back now. I unplugged the mouse and plugged in my old one... it worked fine. I could click and whatever.

So perhaps because it was a display model that had been out for a while is the problem?
Not all of you will probably be able to help me as I'm not sure if other countries have a pc world. If you want the link say, or any more info.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like either the driver failed to load, or your USB slot stopped working. Try using another USB slot (possibly on the front of the computer, because this uses a different motherboard connection than the back).

To get your driver sorted out, do the following (assuming you have Windows 7):

Start > Right click Computer > Properties / settings (either of these, I don't have the English version) > Device management > Mouses and other input devices > Right click the correct mouse > Tab 'Driver' > Delete

If you re-plug your mouse, the driver will be installed again. This makes sure you have no broken software.

I hope this helped.

surprisingly plugging the mouse back in after
a while of using my old one fixed it. maybe it just needed a bit of a rest.

Cheers anyway, I'm sure your post will help others
or if not them , me in the future. might happen again.
