Sorry, I should have said that I'd already tried this.
The mouse from the ME PC works fine on my XP PC, and the XP PC mouse doesn't work on the ME PC. I've also tried in various USB ports. -----Original Message----- Andrew wrote: The USB Mouse on my Me PC has stopped working. I've tried re-installing, but no joy. Any ideas?

It's not uncommon after a failed install of a new peipheral. Often removing USB root controllers in safe mode and rebooting fixes this. If not, the files are in BASE2.CAB in the install files, re-extracting them should fix it.

Other USB devices (eg Printer) seem to be OK, so not sure
it's USB support. Is this worth trying anyway? -----Original Message----- On Fri, 07 May 2004 12:05:43 GMT,"Andrew" penned this whopper in microsoft.public.windowsme.hardware Sorry, I should have said that I'd already tried this.

You could try using the adapter (if you have one) to put it in the PS2
port (?) Do you have other USB devices ? Rick not a big fan of USB (yet) Andrew wrote: Sorry, I should have said that I'd already tried this.

I don't have a PS/2 adaptor. I have other USB devices
attached to the PC which seem to be working fine. -----Original Message----- You could try using the adapter (if you have one) to put it in the PS2 port (?) Do you have other USB devices ?

Check your BIOS; some may have particular settings for USB keyboards/mice.
Check through Programs/Accessories/SystemTools/SystemInfo to see if you have an IRQ or Port conflict. Remove *all* mouse drivers from DeviceManager (if there's more than one) and reboot.
