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.

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. |

I'm saving the big table for when you come to dinner. I'm going to use it to barricade the door. |

No, but how is it working in one of the ports with no drivers? |
