trouble with usb mouse, port problem, driver issue?
I have 4 ports on my laptop.
I want to use 1 of those ports for my USB mouse.
When i plug it in, i hear the windows 'duh dum' sound indicating that its detected it. But it doesnt work. There isnt any power going to it, and its as if its dead.
If i plug any other device into the same usb port, its fine.
if i plug in the same mouse in the other 3 ports, its fine.
i dont know how to get windows to initiate the 'installing optical usb/ps2 mouse' driver, to get it to come up with that message when you plug the mouse in.
i suspect its something to do with the fact that when i first plugged it into that port for the first time, i was in the middle of updating windows (new laptop) and i remember seeing that windows message 'installing driver' come up but something happened and it stopped.
i have checked in device manager and theres no issue (no yellow exclamation mark etc.)
how do i reset that port back to year 0.....and get it to actually install the driver when i plug the mouse in?
