Problem with the INF file trying to replace the USB mouse

I am trying to replace a USB mouse that works but sometimes gives me double clicks rather than alone. But all the attempts to have it translated into the same error viz:

"The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry, maybe it's because the file INF was written for windows 95 or later." Contact your hardware vendor. »

The mouse I'm replacing is an optical mouse of Trust and so far I have tried 3 other optical mice - an ASDA brand, a Dell and a Logitech Value Optical Mouse. All with the same result.

All the mice tried claim to be plug-and-play compatible with Vista (Home Premium installed). None came with the drivers and the last Logitech there is no download associated with it - I don't think this problem of the manufacture.

Any ideas anyone?

  • I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  • "Unknown device" USB Barcode scanner, problem with the USB controller driver?

    Hello

    I need assistance with our Barcode Scanners that doesn't work on our newly purchased computers at HP with Windows7 Pro x 64 operating systems.

    The brand and model of the bar code scanner is:

    Datalogic Heron D130 USB.

    When you connect the scanner to a USB port, Windows will try to install this as a HID, but it takes an unusually long time, about 7-8 seconds, to boot the device and install the drivers and appears as an unknown device in windows "devices and printers" and the hand scanner does not work.

    Sometimes when you move the USB back can I sometimes the scanner at hand to be recognized as an HID device or a Datalogic barcode scanner,

    It works fine until you restart the computer.

    After restart the computer cannot detect the scanner Barcode correctly without re - appears as unknown device.

    I suspect that there is a compatibility problem between barcode scanner and card USB controller on the computers.

    I tried to update all the drivers available on the website www.hp.com and same www.Intel.com (chipset drivers) but nothing has helped to solve this problem

    Tried newly bought barcode scanners and "used" barcode scanners earlier who works on other computers, but the problem remains.

    I found a workaround by connection of bar codes in a USB hub, and then plug the USB hub to the computer.  And leave the USB - hub to take care of the communication with the Barcode Scanner.

    in this case, it takes about 2 seconds for the code scanner barcode to mount correctly in windows under the heading "devices and printers" and then works perfectly, even after a reboot.

    I googled after a response after my problem, but it seems I'm the only one who experience this issue. ?!

    Bought more than 40 computers that I have this problem.

    These were bought at different times with two different for suppliers

    Computer model are the following

    Hello

    The problem is not power - related.

    We use passive USB hubs that solves the problemon these computers.

    (it also works with the docks, or if you EliteDisplay E241 HP as we thers a usb hub 2 ports inbulit in monitor that works.)

    The problem lies in the incompatibility between the Intel USB controller and the hand scanner, can be connected to USB 3.0

    When you let another usb-controller support in handshakeing (such as a usb hub), it works.

    Datalogic or Intel would like to acknowledge this error.

    Because none of the big companies want to acknowledge the problem or repair, personally chose to switch to an AMD platform / CPU instead of the Intel and now it works fine!

    We get more performance for your money when AMD is usually less expensive to purchase.

    And because of the poor of Datalogic press where they don't even answer e-mail (their only channel for support)

    I chose to stop using their products. I'm going to use another provider / brand of barcodescanners.

  • Persistent problems with the Magic Mouse

    I have persistent problems with my Magic Mouse. He often stops followed (i.e. the cursor on the screen does not move when I move the mouse), or the input button on malfunctions (i.e. I don't click and drag, or cannot right click, or when I click on something and that you hold the button down it doesn't "stick").

    I called Apple and they took me through all the troubleshooting steps (reset the SMC, PRAM, etc.) and I finally get a new mouse. I got a new and have exactly the same problems!

    The ONLY thing that solved the problem by restarting the computer, or logging in and out. But the problem then begins again after anywhere from a few minutes to a few days (the most often within hours).

    Any ideas?

    Here is more information in case it is useful:

    • I plugged a wired Logitech mouse, and to my surprise, it also does not work. I thought that the problem was related to the wireless/Bluetooth connection, but this clearly isn't.
    • I have a Wacom tablet attached to my computer, and it works very well, no matter if it has connected (via USB dongle) wireless or wired (via USB).

    There seems to be something wrong with any particular software/system control the mouse.

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

  • New Firmware Canon (1.1.3) on Canon 5 d Mk III leads to problems with the USB Active extension cable

    At first I thought it was new version of Capture One Pro 7 or and the last update of OS X 10.8.3, but the camera is no longer connects to Windows 7 with a Capture One Pro 6.4.4 or 7.1.1. And this is always related to Windows 7. When I used a regular usb cable without the Extender everything has worked on computers and two software platforms.

    Please fix asap Canon and don't blame someone else cause this is without a doubt you do!

    You are right. After trying new camera on pc and mac, we tried a friends 5 d mkiii with the extension and it works. So, after spending several hours on it, I think it's the camera itself.

    Hello

    Actually contact the manufacturer of the mouse support.

    You can ignore all the errors of the adapter. And they are not related to your problem of mouse.

    Don't you worry about this unless you have found errors. If so see these threads.

  • I have the problem with the Intellipoint mouse.

    Original title: Intellipoint mouse

    I have a new laptop running Windows 7, 64 bit.  I am trying to program my old Intellipoint USB mouse but the new drivers do not allow me to program the left button to be "ESC".  IntelliPoint 4.0 has this option but is not compatible with Windows 7.

    I called the MS Helpline and the person I spoke to told me it was impossible.  I didn't believe him.  Later that night, I tried again and was able to do.

    The control panel open mouse properties, select the menu drop-down button that you want to program, select macro editor, select NEW macros under available, name the new macro, click in the Editor area, select Insert Special..., select ESC or you want to use a special character.

    These instructions are clearly described in the Microsoft help if you can find it.

  • Re: Satellite U500-115 - problem with the bluetooth mouse

    Hello everyone,

    I use a bluetooth mouse Saitek mouse with my Satellite U500-115 (OS: windows 7) and a have a real problem that is boring:

    Every time that I do not use the mouse for 10 or 20 seconds the pilot (or what ever) rocking in a kind of 'sleep', and it can take up to 1 minute until the mouse is available again. It is defenitely is not a mouse problem. I tried the mouse with a laptop LG and a windows xp sytem and it worked perfectly.

    I tried the following:

    1 put in place the current on the site of Toshiba bluetooth stack--> having not caused no difference in behavior.
    2 put the mode to 'Full Power' energy saving--> that seemed to have some positive effect, but not always. Sometimes the time until the sleep mode begins seems to be a little more but not always. In the "Full power" the mouse seems to go back a little more quickly when he woke from the mode "standby mode".

    Test: as I wrote this text, the mouse driver began the "sleep mode", now I'll move the mouse and take the time needed until the mouse will respond again a moment):
    45 seconds

    Is it possible to put the bluetooth HID in some sort of "permanent way"? At least the touchpad also reacts independable mode of energy of the laptop; This is why I think that it should be possible to use a bluetooth HID in the same way.

    Thanks for any help!

  • Problem with the USB ports, coast and Bluetooth in Satellite A100-237

    Hello, I own a laptop Satellite A100-237 and I have an annoying problem for quite a while now. The two USB ports in the side as well as the Bluetooth device will not work. What is the bluetooth device is it is simply not recognized by the system, as if it wasn't there (it is said the installation of the driver too) while any device I connect to USB ports side does not work either.
    The other two USB ports in the back work very well.

    Hello

    Maybe this two ports are really defective, and there is not much to say. You will get your laptop for repair, or you live with it and use the other two USB ports. Sorry, but I see your ad as a report short and not as some to ask for help.
