Title: Help! USB mouse suddenly not working
Post by: sunnysky on November 13, 2010, 10:54:17 AM

I am using windows vista and I've never had this problem before. My USB wireless mouse has worked perfectly for the past year. Suddenly, today, I discovered my mouse doesn't work anymore and it says:

USB Device Not Recognized--unknown device.

I thought, maybe my mouse is broken. So I plugged my mouse into another laptop (with vista) and it works! So my mouse isn't broken...I also plugged in a new mouse into my computer and the same error message comes up. This is strange...it sounds like something's wrong with my computer? What can I do?

I already tried rebooting it but that didn't solve the problem.

I got it fixed! I read somewhere about removing the battery, power, and holding down the power button for 30 sec.
