And the USB wireless adapter stopped working as well. It didnt work in safe mode either. The ports aren't the prob.

I downloaded an Ubuntu ISO, ran it as a live cd. And every USB port worked. And I could move the cursor

At the mo, I'm installing Win10, on the other PC here. So far so good, all USB ports and the wireless adapter works again. And I can move the cursor

So, it must have been a buggy Win7 update or something that screwed something up

1444179 2017-12-30 03:11:00 Nope wasnt a flat battery. Since it worked in a live cd of Ubuntu. Oh well, it's got Win10 on it now and everything works again Speedy Gonzales (78)

older systems via update.

1444181 2017-12-30 04:40:00 Thats what I was thinking because before late last night, it was fine. Glad the USB ports werent shot tho. And a clean install of 10 fixed it Speedy Gonzales (78)
