How can I tell if my mouse is dead?!

Dinarius · 2009-03-11 09:54:15

Windows XP Pro I have a USB powered Fujitsu Siemens Laser mouse. The wheel is still working, but the pointer no longer moves. I've tried a few USB sockets, but to no avail. Is it possible that Windows is no longer "seeing" it? If so, how can I reset it? Many thanks. D.

No harm in trying to reinstall the mouse:

Goto Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager.

Find the driver for your mouse and uninstall (plug it out before install)

Then restart and plug it back in, should reinstall the drivers automatically

Thanks.
