Question

Help me, my pc doesn't recognise my new mouse.?

Answer 1

Go online and see if you can find a free driver for it.

Answer 2

You need to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Boot up some liveCD such as Slax or Knoppix, get X up and running, and have a look at the input devices section in the xorg.conf that gets generated. Write down what protocol it is using. Then reboot from your hard disk. Press ctrl+alt+f1 for a text mode console and login as root (On Ubuntu and other distributions without direct root access, you will have to login as yourself, then type

$ sudo sh

to get a root shell.)



Then

# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(Or you could use vi, if you know how .....)

Answer 3

Install Driver and restart computer

Answer 4

goto mouse manufacture web site to download the driver.



Can you inform your computer detail ?

- OS ? (Win XP, 2000, Vista, Mac or others)

- Mouse brand

- connection (PS-2, USB, Serial, etc?

- computer (HP, Acer, IBM, or others)

Answer 5

Look at the brand. If it requires a program (which is probably installed in your girl's computer) that's not in your computer, just go to website of whatever brand your mouse is and they should have it there. I lost the CD for my scanner once and that's exactly what I did.



If it doesn't work, try to switch the plugs around (if it's USB-port compatible) and that should do the trick.

Answer 6

call the company of the mouse you just bought and make sure it's compatible with your computer. that never happened to me either when I got a new mouse.

Answer 7

Search the mouse and download its driver

Answer 8

go to the link in the source list. you can get the drivers there.

Answer 9

if this plugs into a usb then try a different usb slot

Answer 10

Go online and get the driver. (Google the brand, and "free driver")



You should restart the PC after you have it pluged in. That usualy resets the computers driver, and looks for new software.
