Delay in Mouse Activation

[rchris]

Did a reinstall of Win7. Only one glitch: my cordless Logitech USB mouse doesn't activate for about 1.5 minutes after the logon screen. A wired mouse works fine. I've tried removing drivers, reinstalling drivers, letting Windows do its own thing for drivers--same result. After about a minute and a half (whether I log on or not), Windows finds the mouse and away we go.

I've never seen this issue before. Any suggestions? For now, I just turn on the computer and then go get a drink before starting to work!

Welcome to SF, rchris.

Have you installed new batteries in your wireless mouse?

Is the wireless access point for the mouse close and unblocked?

 

[rchris]

Yes to both. Those were the first things I tried. Also tried the USB access point in various slots.

You need the Win 7 Logitech driver.
Since you didn't provide model # start here.
Support + Downloads

Select Win 7 and then 64bit when prompted.

It is not always included in Windows update. Usually just a generic driver from Windows.

Already tried the Logitech Win 7 driver and the generic--a couple of times! No go. What seems strange to me is that I've used this mouse on the same computer with previous Win 7 installs and no problems. Now, Windows wants to wait and find it after every bootup.
