My Mouse pointer has gone from my PC.


'Mice and other pointing devices ' is missing from 'Device Manager'


I have tried using 'Scan for 'Hardware Changes' in Device Manager (youtube tutorial)

this should show 'mice and other pointing devices' and reinstall it but does not show in list.


I am stumped.. any ideas as to how I can fix this problem


HELP

It may be useful, I don't know what system you have, but there is lots of infor online.



someone may be able to provide tailored support to you - I hope you get this fixed.

Long time ago (when I did this) devices used to be found in device manager as "unknown device" or a device that is not working.


Maybe upgrading the device driver or removing and re-scanning anything like that would help.


Just checked mine and there's also "view"->"show hidden devices" - might show up something ?

assume it's a wired USB mouse Foxy?


have you tried a different USB port and restarting? Any chance of using same mouse on a different pc?


I'm happy to send you a new mouse if you need one as I have a few spare - am sure someone more local will jump in before tho

It's the mouse from my Touch Pad. not an actual separate mouse.


I have made a BIG mistake.. Following online instruction..


I disabled '12c HID' device. BUT I cannot Enable it because my Touch pad now is not working

and I do not have a Mouse.


I have tried calling Netquest but not answering


I am now using a 15 year old Windows XP machine with no email

I contacted a guy from Solid Rock IT UK Name Mark


Very Nice guy.. His workshop is currently closed but does Call outs..


Told him my problems and booked me in for a call out today.


I asked him about Starting in Safe Mode on Windows 10

He said . Power Down.. Hold Shift Key and power up...


I tried this and.... Everything came back up as normal .. with Cursor..

Was able to then Enable '12c HID' in device manager..


All fixed.

    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.
