    Yet another problem. USB ports aren't working...
    « on: July 18, 2008, 09:35:15 PM »
    This is, I think, the third problem I've posted about here in a month. -.-

    Everything was running fine on my computer earlier today and then my mouse started freaking out. It would turn on and off and eventually, stopped working altogether. I tried plugging it into every other USB port and it's not working. I also tried using an adapter to plug it into the actual mouse port and it's not responding to that, either. The laser thing on the mouse was working when plugged in, but it still wouldn't respond on the screen.

    I need more help. v.v I break everything I touch. >.<

    Edit: I just tried a system restore, in case it was something software-related and it's still not working...

      It's a custom computer. Gigabyte motherboard, intel pentium processor, 3 gigs of ram...what other stuff do you need?

      What Operating System you are using will be helpful too.

        Did you try another mouse?

          I'm using XP.

          And actually, I think it IS the mouse. I plugged in my ipod and it worked. The only thing is, I tried another mouse before that and that didn't work, either...so, I'm guessing I just have two screwed up mice. I'm planning on picking up a new one today. We'll see if that works. ^.^
