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

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
