Title: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: RED-DOG on July 10, 2013, 11:44:31 AM I have an old laptop which has 4 USB ports.
When I plug a mouse into one of the ports it works fine, but when I plug it into any of the other three, it says "Found New Hardware" then a wizard pops up and asks for permission to search search for software. That's as far as it goes. The wizard never does find any software, it just keeps on searching. I have tried TIOAO. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: AndrewT on July 10, 2013, 11:46:45 AM Leave it plugged in the first one.
Hope this has helped. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: mondatoo on July 10, 2013, 12:01:35 PM Try TIOAOA.

Post by: RED-DOG on July 10, 2013, 12:05:23 PM Leave it plugged in the first one. Hope this has helped. I would do, but that means I have to plug my Voda dongle into one of the back ports and then the computer wont fit on to the table. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces.

Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: RED-DOG on July 10, 2013, 12:34:51 PM Have you tried downloading the drivers for the mouse from it's makers website? No, but how is it working in one of the ports with no drivers? Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces.

Goto Control Panel, Device manager, and Universal Series Bus Controllers - when opening this menu if one of the ports shows as yellow or has a warning triangle beside it, right click uninstall. Restart PC with mouse still in port and on re-start mouse should work, no idea why but is an issue I had with my old laptop and this worked for me. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces.

Why would one port be fine with the mouse and another think it needs to install it? Why can't the wizard find the software? I tried to put the dongle in a different port and the wizard started his 'searching for, but can't find software' shenanigans again. I think my wizard is having a funny spell.

Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: Nakor on July 11, 2013, 08:44:54 AM 1.Click on Start and then Control Panel.
2.Click on the Performance and Maintenance link. Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simple double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4. 3.In the Performance and Maintenance window, click on the System icon near the bottom of the window. 4.In the System Properties window, click on the Hardware tab. 5.With the Hardware tab selected, click on the Device Manager button. 6.You can now use Device Manager to update device drivers, view the system resources a particular hardware device is using, etc. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces.

The device manager just opens the wizard, who unfortunately, has nothing new up his sleeve. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: byronkincaid on July 11, 2013, 12:55:43 PM if you've got a Dell you can go to their website, type in your model number and it will update all your drivers for you. maybe check your manufacturers website if you have another make?

I have a Dell, but this isn't it. I just can't figure out why it works in one port (and therefore must already have the drivers and everything else it needs) but won't work in another. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: outragous76 on July 11, 2013, 01:55:21 PM does the port work?
Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: RED-DOG on July 11, 2013, 01:58:24 PM does the port work? Well when I plug the mouse in, it says "Found new hardware" and sets the mad wizard off. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: kinboshi on July 11, 2013, 01:59:51 PM Could be hardware (the ports themselves or the motherboard) or could be a drivers/software issue.
You at DTD this Sunday? If so bring it along and I'll have a look at it. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: bobAlike on July 11, 2013, 02:14:19 PM Do other things work ok in the other usb ports?

Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: RED-DOG on July 11, 2013, 02:48:54 PM Acer. It works fine in other machines.
Just tried my Voda dongle, that won't work in any port. The computer recognises it, but then the wizard can't find the software. (It shouldn't need to) I think someone has disabled something. Not mentioning and names, but Mrs Red. Title: Re: I hate those meeces to pieces. Post by: outragous76 on July 11, 2013, 02:50:08 PM can you disable plug and play? - if so enable it
