Hey
This evening I went to start up my computer to use my new monitors, and it all started up fine - but my USB mouse doesn't work and I've tried numerous other ones from around my house. The usual message at the bottom left of the screen pops up when you plug it in, but it is quickly followed by 'USB device not recognised'.
It's really annoying and I can't use my computer properly!
Please help me...

There are two ways to fix it. First, you can use Windows Update with the mouse attached to see if Windows can find a driver for it.

If that doesn't work, open your Device Manager and see if there are any yellow attention icons. If there are, right-click on that device and update the driver. If you have a CD for the mouse, insert it when prompted and you should be good-to-go.
