external mouse not working on dell alienware
Hello sevenforums,
I have an external mouse that works on other desktops/laptops but not on my alienware.
It shows up in device manager and lights up but wont work other than that.
I have already tried updating drivers
On another thread i saw this
-----------------------------------------------------
Have no idea if this will help in your situation but it sometimes solves weird USB problems.
Shut down laptop
Remove AC power cord
Remove the battery
Press and hold the laptop power button for 30 seconds
Reinstall the battery
Reconnect the AC power cord
Restart laptop
Reconnect and try USB mouse
---------------------------------------------------------
I tried that but it didn't work.
Could it be the mouse is just not compatible?
not sure what brand mouse it is but its a cheap one.
Here are some specs:
win 7 64 bit
8 gigs ram
i7 2.2 ghz cpu
