| 498003 | 2006-11-10 15:56:00 | Does XP have some sort of problem supporting a USB optical mouse? :badpc: I am having troubles, might just be me though. :help: |

| 498005 | 2006-11-10 19:28:00 | I don't think XP (or even Vista) can tell the difference between different mice, it's either the receiver (in wireless) or circuitry in the mouse itself (in wired) which tells the computer. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 498006 | 2006-11-10 21:14:00 | What problems are you having? my A4 tech USB optical mouse caused a BSOD at startup after I updated to SP2 . . . turns out practically all A4 tech drivers created before SP2 are incompatible - they have released new SP2 drivers for all their products which fix the problem . If that is your problem, it should be easy to fix, just use a different mouse while you update :) |

| 498007 | 2006-11-10 22:47:00 | Got a Labtec optical with the adapter to go from USB to the regular mouse port..and when I use it with the adapter, it runs just fine in all modes and operations. When I remove the USB adapter and try to use it as a USB mouse, it has a problem with the roller hanging and not being able to roll smoothly. Notice that the motion is really slow in the USB mode and no matter what I do in the mouse settings, it still moves at the same very slow speed. |

| 498008 | 2006-11-11 06:28:00 | I have a suspicion that unplugging (or plugging in) a PS2 mouse is not a good move while powered up. Try a re-boot with the mouse starting in the USB port. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 498009 | 2006-11-11 15:33:00 | I have a suspicion that unplugging (or plugging in) a PS2 mouse is not a good move while powered up. Try a re-boot with the mouse starting in the USB port. I have been rebooting for every change.....even though there's the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon available...I just never believed that the mouse was a data storage device anyway so I never did that. But..alas...no...the mouse refuses to run well on USB so I am just going to try to reinstall the Labtec drivers from the cd-rom one more time and it it doesn't work, I'll live with it on the adapter like it was. |
