i need some help please, i had windows me and then upgraded to xp, on my me' os
i had two mice working one with the wire, and one trust ami optical wireless mouse, but after upgrading my optical mouse no longer works even though i have downloaded the drivers for it. any ideas?
What does Device Manager say about your USB ports ? (if it's a USB mouse)
Also...
Why would you want/need two in the first place ?
One for each hand.....perhaps :DQuote:

Is this an upgrade or a reinstallation of Windows?
And could you tell us make and model of the mouse?
How is it connected? Serial, PS/2 or USB.
If it is an optical wireless mouse the reciever is almost certainly a USB device.
Zedd,
Have you tried unplugging the USB cable from the PC ( while it is on) and then plugging it back in? Windows should give you a "found new hardware" message and install the device from there.
If you got drivers with it, reinstall them.
You may also want to check in BIOS for enabled legacy support for USB mouse/keyboard.
Asus has such a setting.
Enabled LEGACY support for USB mouse/keyboard.
This is for Dos nothing to do with Windows.
my os system is an upgrade from windows me, my optical mouse is 'ami mouse 250s wireless optical' product number 12329. it is connected via a usb, i have taken the usb out and then put it back in, and yes it does say new hardware found, i have even run the wizard but it fails to locate the device. in device manager it says 'unknown device' and the wizard is unable to locate the drivers even though i tell it where to look. the reason why i have two mice is because sometimes the infrared beam cuts off and cannot communicate with its base so then i can use the normal ps/2 to take over without have to restart my pc
First of all 'upgrading' from ME is not a good idea. You will have much fewer problems if you format and reinstall XP as a clean install.
For further reference you have a Trust mouse. Much easier to find information than Ami.
Check this site and try the driver from them: http://www.trust.com/home/default.htm?view...3Fartnr%3D12329
i have already downloaded the drivers for this mouse but nothing seems to happen. in device manager under the heading universal serial bus controllers it lists in order- unknown device, usb root hub and then 'via rev 2 usb universal host controller'. why does it say unknown device?
u need windows xp sp1 to use usb 2.0 so u might have some problems with usb devices until u downlaod and install sp1. go to www.windowsupdate.com to get it.
i think your right about sp1, i had it before but it slowed my system right down. i am aware that there are hotfix's for the usb that i can download without having to have the full sp1. i have looked at the microsoft update site and put usb into the search engine and a few items were listed about problems with the usb on xp but i didnt understand it, i have to know exactly what the problem is before i can download one of those hotfix's for the usb. i would be grateful if you could put the exact link here for me which will download load it for me.thank you please note i do not want to install sp1, i just want the correct stuff for my usb thingy. thanx
But, if he got his computer through a place like Dell, or HP, and it has ME on it, then he wont be able to really upgrade, let alone fresh install to Xp, because they dont give you a driver CD.Quote:
