| 700907 | 2008-08-27 10:26:00 | Anyone got a magic fix for a mouse that is not always detected on startup. Mouse is a Logitech corded, wheel, optical, USB. Have tried updating drivers from Logitech, plugging into another port but it's still giving me problems. About every third time I boot up it will not respond, I have to unplug it from back of computer, push it back in & we are away again. Keyboard is also USB & I don't have any trouble with that so makes me think it's not a USB fault. Running XP home. |

| 700909 | 2008-08-27 10:44:00 | Thanks for reply Georgeks, but as I said I have already tried another port & the M/B is new, come to think of it this problem has only started since the new board was fitted, Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 700910 | 2008-08-27 11:25:00 | Go into the BIOS on startup, press the delete key as it boots, look through the settings, Cant remember off hand, but I think its under advanced ( it will be in one of the menus in the left hand side of the BIOS settings)- look for and make sure USB mouse support is enabled. From memory by default its disabled, but keyboard is enabled. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 700911 | 2008-08-27 11:55:00 | Thanks for that WT, I have enabled in bios & will let you know in a couple of days. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 700912 | 2008-08-27 20:33:00 | I bought a logitech mouse from QMB years ago, it died in about a week and so did the replacement. I got an A4-tech 5-button optical mouse from DSE which has been working perfect since (even after a replacement cable when it was shut in a car door and driven over!) I reckon in your case though, check the BIOS settings, check for a BIOS update also. |

| 700913 | 2008-08-28 02:26:00 | Hi. I presume that you are operating your USB mouse into a USB port (as opposed to using a USB-Serial converter plug). Some USB mice (?) won't work in serial ports, notwithstanding the converter is being used. Cheers. | A Team (13613) | ||
| 700914 | 2008-08-28 03:29:00 | Thanks for the help all, WT's suggestion is working so far. (fingers crossed):nerd: | jebby (4580) | ||
| 700915 | 2008-08-28 09:41:00 | Nope !! just booted up & no mouse again, unpluged it, pushed back in & away again, anymore suggestions please. | jebby (4580) | ||
| 700916 | 2008-08-28 10:00:00 | Restart and check the BIOS setting, if its still set to detect then it could be a fault as per Agents Suggestion Earlier. | wainuitech (129) | ||
