Randon Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 How do I get the mouse icon back? I have other problems going on besides that, but can't even begin to fix them until I figure out how to get my mouse back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 i guess you mean the mouse pointer. if there is no mouse plugged in, it should be there anyways... are your otyher problems possibly malware related? if so try right clicking and moving the mouse around, if the pointer is merely set to a single pixel or transparent a context menu should appear somewhere. you can then go to the control. panel to reset it. or you can go there via the keyboard, and also try setting the accessibility options for a keyboard control of the mouise if it is indeed the mouse itself having trouble. and do make sure it is plugged in. otherwise a little more info would help in solving troubles.

jared Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 If you can navigate to your Control Panel, click on "Mouses" or something along the lines of that. Make sure one is selected in the CP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randon Posted October 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 I have no mouse arrow. I went into CP and clicked on mouse...but don't really know what I'm looking for there. I checked to make sure the mouse was clicked in...that was the first thing I checked. I also can not right click on the mouse...the mouse is 100% dead... My other problems can't even be fixed until I get the mouse working...then I'll tell you about the other problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 Also make sure you have your mouse drivers installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 Randon: I got your e-mail on this.First Have you made sure the mouse is still plugged into the mouse port in the back of your PC or plugged in well.Second do you have another mouse you could try.If you do plug it in & reboot to let your PC detect & install it. If that doesn't work go to System Properties Device Manager Mouse & remove any mouse that is installed there & reboot .This will let Windows reinstall the mouse it detects.If that doesn't fix it post the brand of your mouse & if you have a driver for it that came on floppy or CD. That should get you started . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randon Posted October 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 Cholla...it's SO hard to get anywhere without the mouse. I checked the back, unplugged, and replugged it back in...but still no mouse. I will try what you said, and let you know....it just takes awhile, since it's all by keys instead of mouse.....

tonyswhirl Posted October 24, 2005 CID Share Posted October 24, 2005 there is no need for a mouse use the alk key and the underlined letter - there is nothing that a mouse can do that you cannot do without it. I could cut the mouse cord and never miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyswhirl Posted October 25, 2005 CID Share Posted October 25, 2005 If you learn all the shortcuts which few people take the time to learn it can be done. I will agree that suffing the web is harder but it can be done. I just proved it to myself - had to hit the tab key a lot but it worked.

resopalrabotnick Posted October 25, 2005 CID Share Posted October 25, 2005 i had a balky mouse and because it died on a friday and i didn't feel like picking one up over the weekend i ended up using the keyboard mouse controls for a few days.

tonyswhirl Posted October 25, 2005 CID Share Posted October 25, 2005 I got this cool mouse in which the cursor moves from right to left and top to bottom! Like if it is at the bottom and you move down it appears at the top and if you move out the right it comes to the left and vice versa. Saves a lot of time and no more money then your regular run of the mill cheap mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
