Getting mouse to work with new system

Heavens_Myst · 03-29-2006, 08:44 PM

Hey,

Just got a new system, put it all together this afternoon then loaded winXP on it. After it finally got into windows the mouse won't work at all. I have 2 USB logitech mice that I know both work, Ive tried in the USB ports (don't get power at all) and the ps/2 port with an adapter (get power to the mouse with this) but neither is recognized by windows.

I've checked the device manager and there is no little drop down menu for Mouse like there is on the computer I'm posting this from. I've tried two different installs of XP, one Pro and the other is Home. I'm guessing it's hardware related because of this but I really don't have any idea what could be wrong. I tried installing drivers from Logitech but those didn't seem to work either.

Set up right now is
Asus A8N board
AMD 64 3700+ Venice
7800 GT PCIe
DVD burner
HD
2gb ram

That's all I have in the machine right now, I know the USB slots are all fine since my keyboard works in any of them, though it doesn't seem to work if I throw the ps/2 adapter on it and try it in the keyboard port.

Any help would be appreciated.

umm maybe your mouse is broke?

the most probable solution is...

your usb drivers are not installed thus the mouse is not working....check device manager to see if you have ANY usb stuff showing....

the fix is to just put in the motherboard cd rom you got and the install the drivers...

2ndry solution is to put in a usb to ps2 adapter on the mouse and use it that way (unless you do not have a ps2 plug on the mobo.)
