Hmm, that’s odd. Try replugging it in. Most USB devices are plug and play meaning you… plug it and it plays without any further setup.

If it still doesn’t work. Go to the manufacturer’s website and see if they have any drivers for the mouse. You’ll need to download and install them.

Happy to help Heidi….please use the “Add Details” to give more details when you answer my questions…thanks…anywayz…

1. Can you tell me, is your USB port working properly…Do you have other USB peripherals that you can plug into your USB port(s) to test that it (they) are working fine? This will help identify if its the USB port(s) or the USB mouse itself that is the problem….Please check….

2. If we find it is the USB mouse then it sounds like we need to find you your USB mouse driver…I will need you to tell me the exact name of this mouse including its Model # (it tends to be labeled on the side facing the table…

3. If we find its the UISB port then we may have to remove your ports from Windows and reboot and let windows reinstall them…TO do that you will have to go to device manager by popping up the Run Window: Windows-Key+R, then type devmgmt.msc.

Heidi,
I would first try to plug the mouse into a different usb port. If that didn’t work I would try to find the cd software that came with the mouse. Put the cd in the drive and let it set up. If you already did that, then I would uninstall the mouse software and then reinsert the cd for a fresh install.
