MS optical mouse not working in USB
Running WIN 98SE on a Toshiba SP 4600 laptop -
Problem is with a MS Wheel Optical Mouse USB - I had to uninstall all mouse software due to a prob with the Control Panel app. Prior to this mouse was working fine & I have this mouse and sw loaded on several computers, including Tosh laptops. Re-installed the mouse software, which shows as installed & allows you to configure the mouse movements, therefore that part of the software is working OK. Mouse will not respond in USB mode! Mouse works fine with a serial port adaptor; changed mice to ensure that physical mouse works OK; other USB products work in the USB port, so it's not the ports. Have uninstalled the sw & cleaned the registry to ensure that all is removed. Re-installed the sw with the same result. Tried other versions of sw with same results. "Forced" an install of the hardware using "Add New hardware" - still no luck. The "stick" mouse on the laptop works fine, as does the USB mouse through a serial port. In theory BG you install the software with the mouse attached to the USB port, reboot, remove mouse from port & re-insert, when PNP is to do its thing & all is wonderful. When I do the unplug & replug part, the cursor changes to an hourglass fo a few seconds & retunrs to normal - but no mouse usage in USB Did a search of MS KB & no help there with this problem. Any ideas of what to look for\at next, would be appreciated. TIA Doug |

The USB MS mouse does not work on the USB port (yes-there is power to the mouse from the port) I then detached the MS optical wheel mouse from the USB port & attached a Logitech opticfal wheel mouse to the USB port and it works fine. The first time it was plugged in to the USB, Win 98 detected it & loaded the appropriate driver. Thinking i had now "solved" the prob, I detached the Logitech mouse & plugged in the MS mouse. No luck. I haev tried several MS optical wheel mice in the USB port with all of them not responding - just getting power. Obviously, there is "something" different used by the MS optical mouse that is not needed for the Logitech optical mouse. I am stumped! Doug |

Doug Rather than mess with MS mice, I've remained a Logitech mouse user. For similar reasons. No special software/overhead needed. Stick with what works, and move on. Same mouse works fine with USB legacy enabled in bios for DOS programs and games. |
