This is weird. A couple days ago my mouse started to stop working whenever it felt like it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it worked just fine. This has been happening increasingly over the past few days, and its really pissing me off. I have found that if I poke sharp objects into the laser, it starts working again. I'm not totally dumb, so I've been thinking maybe my laser has worn out. I can go buy a new one. Easy peasy... But today my keyboard started doing the same thing. This time, though, I can't simply unplug my keyboard. I have to restart the whole thing. Is there something wrong with my external devices here? Have my keyboard and mouse just died at the same time? On another note, I have been trying to install my old mouse on Windows to see if that improves the situation, but I have had no luck. How the hell do you install a mouse? Please help with my keyboard/mouse troubles! Its very annoying. |

When my mouse acts up, I find blowing on the laser helps. Crud gets in there. Though it sounds like your motherboard may be having some problems... any random crashes or weird bugs popping up lately? | |||

There haven't been any random crashes or bugs lately. It could be because the majortity of my computer is four years old. My mouse is USB, and I find hitting it on the table helps. The laser turns completly off, and when I get it going again, Windows makes that 'hardware just plugged in' sound. | |||

Perhaps it is your USB port, as HyperHacker said. | |||

Do you have a USB keyboard too? Any other USB devices acting up? You might try another port as well. My front USB ports have a similar problem; anything plugged into them shows up as an unrecognized device and Windows just shuts it off, but the back ports work fine. |
