MOUSE

[jerryhillman]

I have an HP tower running Win 7 with an SSD hard drive. For some reason when it boots up I takes the mouse about a minute before it becomes active.
I never had this before. Is this normal?

Usually, I see that when legacy USB is not enabled in the BIOS.
BUT first


Maybe the contacts are dirty/corroded , try plugging and unplugging the mouse 3 or 4 times, this tends to clean the contacts.
Took 4 tries to get that silly connection last week. I sure like that $10 tailed mouse.
Try another USB port.

Have you tried removing the mouse in Device manager, then reboot.
Windows should pick it up as new equipment and reinstall the drivers.

How do you get into the bios in Win 7

Post the make and model of your computer.

Train--
You have a mouse with a tail? I want one too! Does it also have a nose?

You're going to laugh. I have arthritis in my wrist, and I don't like to give up comfortable mice till they die. When mine was misbehaving, I opened it up and found lots of cat fuzz inside. Just like the old days with the roller ball.

Understand what you mean about arthritis. Mine is in my knees. <shudder> So I have to walk about a mile a day or wish I had.
Right now I am using the $9 cheap USB mouse that Best Buy sells.
Why the corded type, I do not lose them. and I do travel a lot. And no battery that drops dead on me.
So each of us use what works best for us.
My big fingerers and a laptop touch pad do NOT get along and I have to use a stylus with my phone as everything is just to close together.

Ground the nose off.

I thought yours had a tail in addition to the wire. Which gives me the idea to paint a mouse face on the mouse. I can't use the touchpad either, the angle is wrong. And the mouse on my XP computer is still PS-2.

I've had both knees replaced already. Cheer up, it was fun. I don't think i can post my X-Rays here. And I'm threadjacking the OP's thread. I'll be good and leave.

LOL ROF.
