Hello, thanks anyone for reading. I've had my pc for a couple years without any problems, except that say the mouse/keyboard serial ports have never worked, but that was ok cause all my stuff was usb. so then a few months ago all the usb ports on the mother bord or connected by cables to the motherbord stopped working. leaving me with the four on the usb card i installed. but not long after, or around the same time my mouse started getting really dodgy, it would stop responding for a few seconds here and there, and hten occasionally need unplugging and putting back in for it to continue. everything else plugged into that usb card works fine, i can even run my webcam for indefinate lengths, my printer, keyboard, and even the internet i am using now is connceted by usb! I havent been on this pc for a couple months since ive been at uni with my new one, but now im back i need it to work but the mouse situation seems to have deterioated further. it goes off more often and for longer periods of time and fails to come back a lot more frequenly. thoughts i have had are, usb problems (except eveything else works), a driver problems (i wouldnt know what to do about this), a virus (help?) or something else i dunno, if anyone has any thoughts or similar experience please reply, it's muchly appreciated.
ps, the mouse is a simple optical mouse that does not take batteries. i have tried another similar mouse and with that one it simply doesnt come on/light up at all. my system has worked perfectly in the past with the same setup
.
thanks mateys for any advice
