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

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
