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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
