681444 2008-06-23 07:56:00 i recently decided i would use an HP f2100 optical USB mouse for my laptop. i found the mouse i a box of parts, and realising i wont need a cd or driver i plugged it in. Unfortunately the add/remove hardware box appears and cannot find a driver for the mouse to use (huh? its a mouse.....) i tried all three USB slots and no luck...is there something wrong with my laptop? aidanmaz (7180)
681445 2008-06-23 07:59:00 Does it work in other PCs? jwil1 (65)
681446 2008-06-23 08:32:00 yes it does on my moms. I notice it doesnt detect my Sony ericsson cellphone after i install the PC suite, it keeps wanting drivers for that too.... may not be related but it seems odd aidanmaz (7180)

681450 2008-06-23 09:06:00 You aren't pointing the mouse back to front are you. Seems a cheeky question but I did that once for a few mins :o :o

681452 2008-06-23 09:11:00 What do you mean one way?

The connection or the mouse?

Go into device manager / the mouse entry, delete it then reboot

681453 2008-06-23 09:17:00 the connector end has a white bar and a slit, which is opposite on the laptop, so it can technically go one way. aidanmaz (7180)
