I am trying to use an external mouse on my Compaq laptop. It used to work fine but now doesn’t even recognize when I plug it into the usb ports. I have tried all 3 usb ports and none of them recognize it, the mouse works fine on other computers. I have already tried updating the drivers and they are all up to date and have plugged other usb port device into all 3 usb ports (keyboard) and they work fine for that. I am tired of using the touchpad and want my mouse back….any suggestions?
Hi, Try using a different mouse and see if it works. Try disabling the touch pad and plug mouse into USB port and see if get connected. Try going to hardware manager , plug your mouse in USB, scan for hardware changes and see if it shows your mouse. God Luck.
I went into device manager and went down to Universal Serial Bus Controllers. A lot were errors. I went to {Update Software] { Browse computer} { hit the blue rectangle under browse and clicked the (Microsoft) one. Its probably different but look for usb hub connecters and follow that. Just saying I’m not 100%
