Poop Man Bob Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 [reposting so it doesn't get lost on the last page] Okay, new problem. On my home computer, my mouse stopped working. It was working last night, then I did a LiveUpdate on my Norton and updated the software on my AVG antivirus program. I then restarted, as it told me, and I went to bed. Woke up this morning and the mouse doesn't work. Keyboard does - just no mouse. It's an optical mouse. I've tried unplugging and plugging it back in; I've tried a second (non-optical) mouse I have laying around; I've restarted a few times -- nothing. I went to use System Restore to see if that could resolve the problem, but the only restore point available to me was for April 28, 2007 (??!) - how can that be possible? Then I ran out of time and had to go to work and here I sit all frustrated. Is is usd or ps2? Well, the optical is a usb, but I use it with a ps/2 adapter. The non-optical is strictly ps/2.

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Did you try to shut down and restart? If that doesnt work...uninstall your mouse drivers, and reinstall. If that doesnt work..go into device manager and see if your computer is pickup up the device and if there is a problem (like bad drivers) Whatelse is plugged into your comupter?

Poop Man Bob Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Did you try to shut down and restart? Yes, many times. If that doesnt work...uninstall your mouse drivers, and reinstall. Okay, that'll have to wait until I get home. And navigating the fucking computer w/o a mouse is a pain in the ass. If that doesnt work..go into device manager and see if your computer is pickup up the device and if there is a problem (like bad drivers) Whatelse is plugged into your comupter? All the normal shit: speakers, keyboard, cable modem - nothing weird, and I didn't change anything from when the mouse worked to when it didn't.

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Well then it is not an interrupt problem (DAMN YOU A+ TEST!!!) It could be one of two things....your mice's is kaput(or drivers are bad) or your ps2 plug is not getting a connect.... try getting some canned air and blowing the socket out...it could be a lot of dust and gunk in there not allowing a good connect.(doubt it) but just in case.

mindvapors Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hey guys, is there a way to check the compatibility between certain routers and receivers online? Like a big compatibility list or something? I can't seem to find one. For instance, my girl's family used to be all D-Link, but they decided to go with an all-in-one Verizon DSL Gateway (a Verizon ActionTec gt704-wg). Now, one pc (upstairs, a Dlink dwl-122) will barely hold on to a connection, and then just drops its. And they have to manually resetting the connection. Though their laptop connects fine no matter where it is. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though their laptop connects fine no matter where it is. Any ideas? update the firmware on it, possibly invest in a repeater, maybe buy larger antenna extensions form the router, change the channel it uses to broadcast on. lots of things you can do.

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 ....like pee on it. Larger antenna will probably do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindvapors Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 So basically that list Seffiks posted earlier. I know that, but i was just wondering if there are such things as compatibility issues with routers and receivers, especially since everyone was gravy before switching routers.

Seffiks Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 mindvapor i try to stick to one brand (some do not like to play together nice) poop (check for IRQ conflict) - do so in device manager and check the event logger for and errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 mindvapors: there are sometimes compatability issues as far as how strong the wireless router signal strength is. i'd buy a set of larger antenna. if they don't work, return them. tell ya what would look really good on you is if you show up to her folks house with a bag of antenna.

Seffiks Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 edit i will make it a little easier 1. Right click on My Computer, then click on properties, then click on Device Manager. Or, click on Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel, Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab to display all devices. 2. An exclamation point ( ! ) in a yellow circle will appear next to the names of ports or device that are conflicting. Click the (+) sign next to Ports (COM and LPT) to display current ports. 3. You can move any devices from the conflicting ports to the new ports. or move the conflicting card to an new card slot. Then restart the computer, Windows should now detect the new attached devices. 4. Double-click the names of the conflicting COM or LPT ports. Click the check box by "Disable in this hardware profile." 5. Click OK, and then restart the computer. Windows should now detect the new serial or parallel ports and the attached devices.

Seffiks Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 he only has to do it if he sees an error thats all, its not that hard (i guess if you do anything enough it just not become so hard anymore) "sounds like a woman issue hashaha" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 haha. yeah. it's not hard, but that is to us. "users" don't like to delve into this shit, though. they like to have it done quickly and be able to use their shit. i haven't been keeping up wit pmb's problem, but here's a link for him Another PC settings migration tool. Not the latest version but I believe CA only changed it once (in release r11) after they purchased Miramar in 2004. The product works with Windows 9X through XP and so it is still a fantastic tool for migrating PCs - especially if you have plenty, of course. http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1085115/6771970/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I am not going to argue with the computer masters since I am merely an apprentice. but IRQs are nothing to mess with on the "user" level. That is all...... I can kill you both.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
