Mouse problems in Windows 7 (64-bit)

[Kemortia]

I run Windows 7 on two of machines. One runs flawlessly. The other ran flawlessly for about a month or two, and then I started getting a rather odd problem. The OS fails to recognize my (mostly) left mouse clicks for random periods of time, say 5 seconds to like 60 seconds. It'll work, then it'll stop, then it'll work... etc. Obviously this is extremely frustrating. Thinking it's the mouse, I tried another mouse - same problem.

Both mice are USB, but it does not seem to be an issue with the USB ports as my keyboard and other USB peripherals work fine.

Running the C2D Extreme Quad core from a couple of years ago, X38 chipset board, 4870x2.

I'm baffled on this one, hopefully someone out there has an idea. Oh, I formatted and reinstalled the first time this problem came up, and it started again within a few hours of the reinstall. All I've got installed besides my drivers are:

Firefox
AIM
ATI Catalyst Control Panel

As an update, i've discovered that it's more you can't left click "in" anything. Like, I can right click the desktop, and left click will work in the context menu.. but if i click out of that and try to click on the start button or whatever, it doesn't work.

What mouse are you running? I have a Logitech MX6100 that seems to have the similar issues. I couldn't drag and drop, it would open the file all the time. I did find I could right click and move the file or icon but then it asked if I wanted to move the file....too many clicks just to move a screen icon.

Logitech doesn't seem concerned that their drivers don't work with Windows 7. I went back to my Microsoft corded IntelliMouse

I really miss my 6100.

My main mouse is a G7, the wired one i tried was some old USB logitech one.

Same problem for me with win 7 7264 x64 and Logitech G5...
I have to do CTRL+ALT+CANC, click one time, so returning on the desktop, mouse works....(!!)

It's a bug

All right with Win 7 7229 x64...

I had a similar problem w mice and keyboard. I changed them out and prob remained. I went into device manager and found two unknown devices in usb section. Could you check that section and see if anything looks amiss. Upload a snip would help

Here you can use my magnifying glass.

Image isn't important... All my devices are installed correctly... I don't understand..

I dont want to come back to Vista...!!!

 

[The General]

Does G5 and G7 have specific drivers for Vista x64 OS? Have you tried to install the drivers in Win7?

No specific drivers... Only the Setpoint for Vista64...

Tomorrow I started my pc without my Lacie usb external drive and the mouse run perfectly for several minutes...

Then I tried to power on the Lacie and restarted problems....!!!!!!

I think that Lacie could be the guilty....

In this moment cursor has some problems... works only right click...

edit: after restart pc..... same problem, also without external drive connected..

So confused....!!

If you go into:

Control Panel-->Mouse-->Hardware-->Properties-->Change Settings-->Power Management

is the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box checked?

Just a thought.....

The box is unchecked...

Ok guys....

The problem seems to be resolved...

My Logitech G5 runs perfectly since 2 hrs...

I uninstalled older mouse default driver...
Installed latest Setpoint for Vista64.. (command with keyboard, mouse doesn't works..)

Restart PC...

After restart, I setted up my G5 in Setpoint config...

p.s. note new model in devices list..

I gived control of the mouse to Setpoint config instead of the OS...

Wow, what a pain to go through! Are we going to have a repeat of Vista with hardware compatibility nightmares?

Oh... I hope is only a problem of pre-rtm Windows 7...

let's keep our fingers crossed...saldy though as close to RTM as we are it's hard to say if enough people have reported this as an issue to make it something worth fixing.

I am also having this problem! Win7 has been working great for a couple months but this issue just popped up for me the other day while playing a game, my mouse did not work at all. After every reboot, I am able to use my mouse only on the desktop but clicking anywhere on the start menu button or the taskbar does not work. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Dlt and click on "open task manager" a few times and finally it will register a click and open the task manager. Once that happens, I am now able to use my mouse again on the start menu button and the taskbar.

EDIT: I am using a MS wireless keyboard and mouse set [MS Wireless Desktop 6000 I think]

You guys just need to reinstall the set point drivers but right click and use Vista compatiblity mode when you do it.

The first attempted installation will usually fail but then just wait approx ten seconds and the Win7 compatiblity mode will pop up, just click to reinstall with Win7 settings and they will work after that.
