USB Device Not Recognized

post #1 of 11

Thread Starter 
Well I was happily in word today, when all of a sudden, the Device Uninstall theme kicked in (de do) then a message poped up with my USB mouse - USB Device Not Recognized. Now in device manager all I get is Unknown Device and my USB mouse no longer works. I have verified that it is not the mouse.

Can anyone shed some direction?

Thanks

Try uninstalling that unknown device from the device manager then plug in the mouse and let windows redetect it. If it doesn't run the new hardware wizard. (and don't mind my signature unless this happens on the d600 or 600m )

Too bad your mouse doesn't have a firewire connection, besides a friggin USB, that sounds like a pain in the a@@.
