When I boot my machine I see my pointer but it will not
move. What I usually have to do is re-install my OS and
that usually does the trick, but this last time I had to
use WIPE DRIVE and then re-installed my OS, and I got it
to work again. Did all my updates installed Norton
firewall and antivirus, basic stuff. Everything was fine
until two days later, booted my machine and lost my mouse
again. I am stuck using my keypad again.
I have tried just about everything from disabling most of
my hardware but my keyboard and mouse, even used a
different mouse. If I go to mouse properties it won't
even let me troubleshoot. If I look in Device Manager it
is not listed like all the other devices. I posted
almost the same question two days ago on Microsoft and I
was told it could be viral or adware. Ran my virus check
and nothing, Lavasoft's adware too. I do not download
any music from P2P networks.
I had another tower different hardrive running windows 98
and it did the same exact thing! Could there be a
problem in BIOS? Hacker? What? Re-installing
everything over and over is very time consuming and it's
not fixing the problem. PLEASE HELP!
