Problem with my optical mouse :(

ndnchico · 07-07-2004, 07:48 PM

When i restart my computer, my optical mouse turns off and doesnt turn back on. I have to turn the computer off and turn it back on. I have tried other optical mice and i have the same problem. I made this computer but I dont think that has antything to do with it. It is fairly new running an AMD 2400 with MSI-K7N2- delta motherboard. Anyone know what to do????

Wireless? USB? What mouse is it? What happens if you let it boot up all the way anyways ... sometimes, with USB wireless mice, the mouse doesnt kick in until you finally get well into windows.

It is a microsoft optical mouse, not wireless. its a usb mouse, but it comes with a ps2 adapter. Either way I do it, usb or ps2, I let windows boot up fully until i am at the xp screen where it asks for my logon password. If i enter my password and logon using my usb keyboard (which does turn on when i restart), my mouse still doesnt turn on.

You ever just let it sit there anyways? I know with my Belkin wireless occasionally I finish booting and then it realizes the mouse is there and fires it up. Also, is the mouse using some kind of "sleep" mode? (check under device manager --> mouse --> power management and disable that power management stuff). It should work more reliably on the PS2 socket however you may also want to make sure the socket is (a) clean and (b) the mouse doesnt slip in and slip out

I currently have it connected through the ps2 port and at times I do let it sit there. It still doesnt turn on

Try it on another computer to help determine if the problem is entirely with your computer or the mouse.

i recently bought a new optical mouse, and I seem to have the same problem with the new one. I doubt that they are both defective.

Good call, sounds like the mobo: is there an option in the bios talking about USB keyboards and such? That option affects the boottime readiness for PS2-type devices connected to the USB ports (keyboards and mice), make sure the setting is enabled

i didnt see anything like that anywhere in the bios, I did however see an option for "usb keyboard support"... it was disabled.. I tried enabling it but this didnt do the trick
