Mouse freezes on startup

Win 7 premium x64. Mouse freezes on startup after a restart it seems ok.

Make and model number of the mouse wouldn't hurt...Did it come with a cd with drives and did you install the drivers?

Try a different mouse?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. It sounds like they are not loading on a cold start for some reason.

Instead of rebooting, what happens if you unplug / replug the mouse (in a different USB port)?

I installed a new MS Comfort mouse and it made no difference.
Both were usb connected.

Let's try the motherboard drivers next. Navigate to the manufacturers website and download / install the chipset drivers.

The motherboard is not the one listed in my stats. The MB is in this pc is only 2 weks old the drivers are as new as can be

Might have to send the mobo back cause it sure sounds like the USB ports are bad.

Cam printer and a few other perifials and all pluged into usb and work ok, i might try a PS2 mouse

Go to the Command Prompt (Start>Cmd), right-click and choose "Run as Administrator", then at the prompt type "Set devmgr show nonpresent devices=1" without the quotes. Once you've done that, go to Device Manager, and in the View menu, select "Show hidden devices". Then hunt down all instances of the mouse drivers and uninstall them. Then reboot the PC and try installing the drivers again.

I deleted the usb mouse drivers and software and rebooted with a ps2 mouse.
It went well for 4 hours then i touched the mouse for a few seconds and it froze.

You used your pc for FOUR hours and didn't need the mouse?

Is it only the mouse that's freezing, or is anything else freezing as well?

Only the mouse now that i have redone the drivers it went for 4 hours then froze while useing.
It has been running now for 6 hours so far no problams. Fingers crossed.

It ran for 24 hours with many start up and shut downs. NO problem.
This morning it started it and had 5 freezes in 30 minutes randomly.
Not always on startup or on a particular program.

Unplug and replug the mouse 3 or 4 times. Kind of sounds like a dirty connection.

That does tend to clean the contacts and has worked for me when the mouse locks up.

Nothing has resolved the issue, i think i will reinstall windows

Sometimes, I just did that myself, that is the only answer. :(

I dont beleive this PC. I did a fresh install, downloaded all latest drivers , installed software, about 4 hours of it, then i did a windows update check and the dam thing froze.
I am convinced now the motherboard must have a bug up it.
What do u think?

Are you using a router?

In my experience, freeze-ups are a lot more likely to be software or driver related than harddware. Have a look in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer, and see if anything in there sheds any light on what might be causing the freeze-ups. And try starting in Safe Mode and see if it will run happily without freezing.

Every USB device i hace tried to install has frozen the pc when installing drivers.. Eventually i get it installed. I went into device manager and tried to update the driver on the USB controllers. Each one froze the pc while trying to update. I did it in safe mode ok but no updates available. Something about this AM3 board that windows 7 does not like.

I got suspious when the pc froze whild doing driver installs or updates of the internet.
I took out the wireless card and uninstalled the drivers and software.
Connected by cable.
No problam at all.
A bit if research showed the the drivers and software from dlink were in fact vista not 7. Incompatable.
I put the wireless card back in and let it install microsoft drivers.
Works perfectly.
Be wary of dlink software it is usually good but right now it is not compatable with 7.
Dlink should catch up.

I'm glad you got it sorted out in the end :)

I've had similar driver issues myself, in the past. I usually wait and see what Windows finds the drivers for and only install the drivers for hardware that it doesn't have a driver for. Then, once I'm satisfied that everything is stable, I'll upgrade those drivers where I get extra functionality, which is usually only graphics drivers an MS Intellipoint.
