Mouse Frozen

[Guest]

Hi someone might be able to help me. The mouse froze in the middle of the
screen all it does is just sit there. I tried a few things to fix it. nothing
seemed to work so I decided to re install XP. well guess what the mouse still
sits frozen in the middle of the screen ?after the reinstall. I`m guessing it
is some type of hardware problem ????? I did try another mouse along the way
but nothing seemed to work .
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

What you failed to communicate was the type of mouse, how it connects to the
computer, if you have downloaded and installed the latest driver, etc.

For example..

If it was a wireless mouse, it's battery could be low and/or it could be
loosing connection with its base. You usually have two "connect" buttons
(one on the mouse and one on the base) you can press to synchronize.

If it was wireless and RF, you may actually have a switch in the mouse and
on the base to choose its channel. Make sure they are set to the same
frequency.

If it is wired, it could be PS2, USB or (less likely) serial. You need to
be sure that you latest chipset (motherboard) driver is installed. You need
to be sure that the latest mouse driver is installed. You need to be sure
(if USB) it is plugged into a known good port (try changing ports on the
computer.)

It could be a bad mouse - that happens. Try another mouse. Hardware goes
bad, mice are cheap.

Does everything freeze up... or just the mouse?
Can you still navigate with the keyboard?
Did the mouse work while you were reinstalling?

How about other mouses?

Chances are it was just some backgound app you've got running 24/7.

I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled xp and the mouse still sits there

I asked before, and I'll ask again. Did the mouse work WHILE you were
reinstalling XP?

Hi Menno
No the mouse pointer just sits there and doesnt move it just stays in the
middle of the screen it has not moved at all not even when I reinstalled
windows xp

The connection for the mouse on the motherboard may be the problem. Try
a different mouse type.
