My mouse isn't working, and no other mouse is too on my comp

I've tried several and none are responding on my comp. They won't move, click or scroll and it's a pain in the ass to use a keyboard only. Fast help please. ;_;

huh, this happened to me before, buy a new mouse, it worked for me

He said none of his other mouses worked so that isn't the problem.


What OS do you have?

well its probably because his mouses are too old, idk, but i used a new one and it worked

if this is not the case, then ignore this post

its NOT the mouse, and im running on a windows xp atm.

USB mouse? PS/2 mouse? Operating system?

PS/2 mouse, Windows XP.

did you connect the mouse while the comp was running?

windows has this stupid property where it won't recognize a PS/2 mouse unless it was plugged in before it started booting. try rebooting with the mouse plugged in.
failing that, pick up a simple USB mouse (I swear by this one in particular).

USB Mouses work better, trust me

Sounds like the PS/2 mouse socket may be disabled in BIOS. I'd explain how to check, but it's a different process for each computer. Does your mouse show up in Device Manager?

Ok wow. I'm using a ****ing NUMPAD MOUSE atm and this is worse than no mouse. :S

Rebooting with the mouse already plugged in didn't work, and how much does a USB mouse cost? ;_;

ok, theres literally no logical explanation. i went to the repair shop near here and it worked fine, but i bought a new mouse anyway.

and on a better note, the store owner asked if i wanted to work there on my free time
