What do I do if the mouse suddenly abandoned its work

Hello

It happenend two times already: my mouse no longer works and I do not know how to save the program, nor how to shut down the computer safely. Is there a key combination to help me.
It normally happens in the middle of something, especially nights and no battery on hand. So, what can I do?
I'm working on windows vista.
Thank you
Petra

1. I also use a wireless mouse.
Usually changing battery new wil get the mouse going again. You should not do something else.
If you need to, and I don't see why it is necessary, press the Power button to turn off the computer.

2 invest a mouse "connected". In this way, when you're out of battery for the wireless mouse, simply plug the wired mouse.

    Maybe you can try to start with a Live CD/USB. If this problem occurs also with the OS Live the question is related to laptop. If not, it s a Windows problem and perhaps a recovery would solve the problem.

  • The scrolling mouse suddenly does not work in all the guest OS. 10 workstation

    As of today, is no longer scrolling the mouse works on any guest OS I installed. All OSs are Ubuntu 64 bit (12.04 or 14.04). Installation of a guest operating system in fresh does not solve the problem, nor do reinstall the workstation.

    I wore a virtual machine on VirtualBox, and scrolling of the mouse is working there.

    I had added the following to the guest operating system a .vmx file yesterday:

    Mouse.vUSB.Enable = 'TRUE '.

    usb.generic.allowHID = 'TRUE '.

    mouse.vusb.useBasicMouse = "FALSE".

    However, the mouse behaved properly yesterday, and it's just one of several operating systems affected.

    Host OS: Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    Could it have been caused by round of updates from Windows yesterday?

    It was caused by the round of updates from Windows yesterday. Specifically, KB2973201, which is related to the keyboard on the screen of the features.

  • Re: Satellite L750 - advanced of the mouse settings do not work correctly

    Satellite L750 model (one month). The problem is that whenever I have start the computer, does the point of the mouse synaptics device, but retains the advanced settings that pressing on with three fingers, turn to turn, or you can use the wheel to move up and down the page. The funny thing is that is activated by clicking on the mouse icon in the control panel. Once I have access to the icon, the mouse works perfectly and is displayed in the toolbar.

    In device management, tells me that works perfectly and that the driver is up-to-date.
    Everyone thinks of any solution? Thank you

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t really understand what you're talking about.
    Do you have problems with the USB mouse or the touchpad?
    This device is not working properly: mouse or touchpad?

    The series L750 supports a touchpad with additional feature called gesture (multi-touch).
    Here you can find nice description on Synaptics how it works page.
    http://www.Synaptics.com/solutions/technology/touchpad

    In addition the parameters could be found in Control Panel-> mouse-> Advanced tab

    FYI: you can disable and enable the touchpad function by pressing the small button above the surface of the touchpad (POWER).

  • "the scroll of the mouse button does not work.

    I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you more. I'm out of ideas.

    This is a pretty old post so I don't know if you'll see even this or not, but I thought I would just in case others have had this problem. I don't have a rock solid solution, but of course, I had to deal with this issue over the years several times. Usually with the mouse PS/2. I also had very difficult to find useful to question answers. It seems that there are many people who simply do not use the middle button as a shortcut for double click. I hate not having this double click the middle button.

    Finally, what works for me (years before), it's that I found a Logitech software that everything worked well with my PS/2 mouse 3 button. I think it was like Version 9.03, and no less.

    Now, I'm having the same problem again with the USB mouse... drivers or lack of pilots. When you have the problem, if you look in your Dashboard under the software of your mouse, you will likely see that there is no option of three buttons available. There the scroll wheel and click lines how much you want to scroll to each tread of the wheel (or if you want to lock the scrollbar) but no third option button and that's the problem. You need to find a driver that has this option and you can get it to work with the mouse that you ever then your problem is solved. This is a Windows problem... nothing in the bios either.

    I'm sure that there is someone out there who has a better tham solution = n me but at least if someone knows this problem... you are not alone, and now you know... it's the fault of Windows!

    Maybe something here: [check Control Panel - mouse or TouchPad (as applicable)]

    If a mouse (or if you use a touch screen and a mouse)

    Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
    Single click to open an item - APPLY / OK

    Control Panel - mouse - look for hover or click Automatic similar settings according to your mouse.

    When a TouchPad

    Look in the Notification area next to the clock for all TouchPad control program.

    Control Panel - mouse - also look for it TouchPad (mine is on the device however settings tab
    other brands and maybe on the other tabs and more than one). There are usually the parameters that
    can determine if a click, double click, hover or can open or close a program.

    Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
    Single click to open an item - APPLY / OK

    If some people are well positioned can change to some other setting if you plan to leave
    them that way and then change again.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the mouse keys does not work?

    I would use MouseKeys in windows to use my keyboard as a mouse, but I was not able to get the function runs.

    I am able to activate the MouseKeys without any problem, but by pressing the keys on the numeric keypad does not move the pointer of the mouse at all.

    I can see the mouse keys icon in the notification area of the taskbar of windows 7 and I am able to switch between the left and right mouse buttons using the / and - keys on the keyboard, but that's all I can do.

    Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

    Thank you

    Jason

    Hi, thanks for your response.

    I found the solution to my problem. Keys mouse was working, but I didn't know it because my mouse speed setting is set to minimum. Although it seemed that nothing was happening when I was pressing the keys on the numeric keypad, the mouse began in fact to move, but only very slowly.

    I adjusted my settings of the mouse, and the mouse keys now work properly.

    Thanks again

  • 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,
