The mouse scroll wheel stopped working after windows updates

I have a Targus optical mouse with a scroll wheel; and he recently worked like this: when you use the scroll wheel in multiple windows, it would scroll the window (to move the vertical scroll bar) goes up and down.  It was a huge time saver, and I was used to it.

I installed recently a whole bunch of patches from microsoft, including Windows 7 SP1 and Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center.  The device is not listed in the center of the keyboard and mouse MS, but there is always a control-> mouse Panel.

In Control Panel-> mouse, it has still the tab saying "wheel" roll the mouse to a notch wheel to scroll the rows x number of rows (it is selectable, I had 3, but tried to change as well); but it no longer works.  Now, it seems, I have to press the wheel to click, which then shows a circular scroll up/down, icon, and then I physically move the mouse up and down, and if I push down to click again on the wheel, I'm back to a regular movement of the mouse pointer.  It's MUCH more inefficient than the use of the wheel, so I'll try to figure out how I can get the drive working again.

Should I uninstall MS Mouse and keyboard Center?  I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling the driver; but there is no mouse listed in the Device Manager (only has my touchpad there...)  It's a Targus optical mouse amu10usz; and even once, it was working fine before the installation of upgrades...

Thanks for any help,
A.J.

  • laptop keyboard stopped working after Windows update.

    have a toshiba satellite A505 laptop and the keyboard stops working after Windows Update reboots. We reinstalled Windows 7, which fixed the problem until the updates have come. Now the keyboard is unresponsive. Sounds like a software problem, no material. Also checked the keyboard drivers that are up to date.

    As a first response, go to the control panel, device, keyboard, keyboard Manager and right click, uninstall it and let it rediscover Windows and then reinstall it.

    Hello

    After that I updated the BIOS (drawn from the Toshiba site), the scroll function stop working. I can still click, move the mouse pointer, but can no longer navigate the touchpad. Relocation of Synaptics driver is not the problem. The strange thing is that the computer detects only my touchpad as standard pointing device (port: PS/2) device.

    Hello

    What operating system is installled and which is more interesting: what version of BIOS you have installed? Why I ask? Because there are 2 different BIOS versions, one for Vista (1.80) and one for XP (5.20) which means that when you Flash a BIOS XP on a computer with Vista installed then some functions do not work properly as the FN keys or the touchpad.

    If please check this out and make sure you have the appropriate BIOS installed.

  • Broadcom Wireless stopped working after Windows updates

    Hello, everyone!

    I have a Pavilion dv6000 with wireless network. Everything was OK, but last Monday the blue wireless light was suddenly always amber and me did not have wireless access. These are the facts about my problem:

    * I reset my laptop to factory - wireless configuration works very well

    * Windows Update all installed, but one, updates - wireless works fine

    * I installed the new Windows Live Messenger - WIRELESS STOPED working

    * I uninstalled Windows Live Messenger - wireless works fine

    * Windows Update installed .NET Framework 3.5 (it was the update of Windows I jumped at step 2)-without WIRE EFFONDRES WORKING

    And now, my problem is that even if I try to "roll back" to a "restore point" before installing .NET, I get an error and I don't seem to be able to "Uninstall".NET 3.5. On the other hand, the pilot "Broadcom Wireless 802.11 g" has disappeared from the Device Manager and I don't seem to be able to reinstall it, or not reinstalling patches 'HP Wireless Manager' the problem.

    Can you help me, please?

    Thanks in advance,

  • The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

    I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

    It worked for me! Thank you!

  • Task Scheduler stopped working after Windows updates

    This just happened to one the many updates just installed.  Microsoft does not identify the Console as being updated but I did a restore + the task manager has been fine.

    Installed November put up-to-date and Scheduler of tasks is still a Virgin is in one of the updates. hidden of course.  If someone found the number of update, please send along!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

    "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72491-Windows-Update.html

     

    Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

    "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

    See you soon.

  • Satellite L350-262 - WLAN stopped working after Windows update

    Hi - help please!

    Everything was fine until an automatic update on windows 7 applied about 14/15 December 2010. After that I turned off the wireless LAN to save battery while off line, then the wire will not pass on, I am currently connected via a cable connection 10/100.

    I tried a restore when this problem first occurred, and it worked. However, the updates have applied new themselevs and I cannot now restore the update that seems to have caused the problem before the date on which took place.

    I updated the driver that the adapter is realtek adapter and I have applied this update - realtek_wlan_win7_20100702, it did not work.

    I ran the diagnostics which indicates the following:-Please note the wireless switch on the before the computer is on, and shows on the page of diagnostic, Diagnostics tool recognizes also when the switch is off, so it doesn't seem to be a physical problem with the wireless LAN switch, but something software related that has disabled the wireless LAN

    as I remember, there was the user with the same question in this forum. I don't know if he could solve it... I recommend:

    1 remove all WiFi drivers installed on your system and restart the round, then. Afterwards, go to the driver page and download wlan driver http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    2. If it still does not, restore to previous operating system

  • Move between photos using the mouse scroll wheel in the library module

    I've recently upgraded to LR6.4, in the library, to the Magnifier module, I can't move between photos using the mouse scroll wheel. When I point the cursor on the picture, I get a "magnifying glass". The only way I can move between photos is to click on the film. I was able to use the mouse scroll wheel to move between pictures before. Help, please.

    It doesn't matter whether or not this option is displayed. Just open the preferences and restart LR should dissipate it.

  • Canvio Basic 2 TB suddenly stopped working after Xbox update?

    Now I tried it on a different Xbox one (didn't read), and also tried on a computer laptop windows 10 has yet no chance, at first he tried to install it but only got up then stopped, but even after having passed, still nothing, now its there if I go to device management (depending on whether its fine) but I can not even open the hard drive itself.

    I hope someone can help or suggest something, but im now puzzled.

    Thanks in advance.

  • On Windows 8, some widgets, such as the menu near the upper right button, stop working after awhile, and restored by restarting the PC.

    I use the latest versions of Firefox as soon as they are available on a PC in Windows 8. Firefox works fine, usually a few hours before the annoying problems manifest. The problem, that I address here is some widgets, including some widgets Firefox and widgets (such as buttons and selectors menu drop down) isolated in some sites stop functioning. In Firefox, the Menu button (the icon of three dashes stacked) stops working. And the download arrow sometimes stops working too. Sometimes, sub-items as printed stop working. A pull-down, the high and arrow down keys could still work even if I might now be able to select with the mouse. Closing and re-opening Firefox usually restores some functionality. However, I usually have to restart the PC to restore all the functions that has stopped working. So I'm good for usually a few hours yet. Another inconvenience, which others have addressed, is the appearance of Chinese characters - to research on the tab toolbar labels at the top. Restart Firefox gets rid of these for the moment. Thanks for the study.

    Philipp,
    Thanks for the quick reply and for the advice that you have presented.
    I downloaded and installed the graphics driver that you recommended. The process went well. I have hardware acceleration disabled by an earlier recommendation to remove these Oriental characters.
    After two days of problem apparently having been fixed, I considered replying to report success. But before I could get around to doing so, abnormal behaviors reappeared. Thanks for confirming the source of these Oriental characters. Previous research indicates that the source was with McAfee or Firefox, a bit like a battle for "pointing the finger" in between.
    Best,
    JRSTOUDT
