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

*** SORTED ***


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 Strongly recommend Mark

    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
