USB mouse not recognized?

Question

My mouse has that light thing when it's working. Its not almost 3 weeks old. Today, I plugged in my mouse but Windows says that its not recognized. It's lighting up and working but the cursor wont work and its not recognised. Please help me how to fix this. I cant play games on my laptop if my USB mouse isnt working. :c

My laptop: Dell
Mouse: iMemory

Answer 1

If it shows up as an unknown device, it's unlikely to be caused by a mouse driver problem. This means that the USB controller can't get some critical info from the piece of hardware. The driver being used for the mouse is either a driver provided by Windows, or one that came from Windows Update for that mouse. It wouldn't be a Dell driver in this case (it's not a piece of hardware embedded in the machine).



It's possible that the hardware is in a bad state. Please power off the machine, disconnect the mouse, pull the battery, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then connect everything up again and see if you still have this issue.
