  • HP Optical Mouse Product # VK479AA stopped working

    Hi-
    Have the HP Optical Mouse Product #VK479AA and have used it for awhile but it stopped working. Thought it was the battery but changed it. Using it on my laptop which is running Windows XP and connect to it thru the USB port. I tried unplugging the usb and reconnecting it and clicking and holding the connect button on the bottom of the mouse the the one on the top of the usb thing. When i hold down the one on the bottom on the mouse it starts flashing red. Still not working. Also tried re-booting the computer. Any ideas of what i can do to fix it?
    thanks for any responses

    I have the same optical mouse Product code VK479AA, and the same problem......just stopped working. Thought it was the battery, changed battery, still have the same problem. I'm using WIN7, and device manager says the device is working properly. Tried reconnecting the device (using the Connect/binding buttons) but seems like either the mouse is not transmitting, or the USB dongle is not receiving any longer.
    Having read the forum posts, it seems HP aren't very good at customer support. I haven't seen a single official response from HP . Extremely poor considering this is an official forum!! (
    I've also had the double click issue ever since I've had the mouse, which is rather annoying at times especially whether you want to highlight something or select an area in a spreadsheet.
    Given the feedback I've seen so far, I think I'll be reluctant to purchase another HP product.

  • HP wife mouse not working on Pavillion DV6700

    Hello,
    I have a HP Pavillion DV6700 laptop computer with Intel Wireless WiFI Link 4965AGN and I have installed Windows 7 on it (originally it came with Windows Vista).  I just bought a HP wife mouse but it's not working.  Whenever I try to pair the device I get the error message "softAP not working".  I checked on this forum and there are some suggestions like updating the Intel Wifi driver which I did but nothing seems to help.  I also read somewhere that with some older generation wifi adapters, the new wifi mouse is not compatible.
    How can I find out if the wife mouse is compatible with my laptop/wifi adapter?  I don't want to spend hours and hours trying to make it work if there is a compatibility issue.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hello TwistedJ,
    It would appear by your description that the mouse is faulty. If this behaviour started since the mouse was new 2 years ago, you should have returned it to the store you purchased it for a replacement or contacted HP Support directly for warranty help.
    HP warranties its wireless mice for up to one year.
    There is really nothing you can do at this point.
    I'm sorry.
    I do not work for HP.

  • DriverMana​ger, hoping for something to help the optical mouse

    I tried a web search for "toshiba mouse drivers" so I could check for up-to-date drivers for the otpical mouse for a laptop A205 toshiba computer (Windows Vista).   I found a program to download and install DriversManager, which would scan the computer and tell me what drivers could use updating.  None of the items listed seem to be specifically for the functioning of the optical mouse.    I took no further action to update any drivers, and even so, I would not understand what to do.
    The basic problem for the A205 laptop is when the computer is either Started or Restarted, the connected mouse, regardless of which mouse used, will not work.  When the mouse is physically disconnected and then reconnected, it then works normally.  I hoped that a mouse driver update would be a fix for this fairly small problem.

  • I have issue in my USB optical mouse

     i bought  leneo T530 after that i bought optical mouse

    i tried this mouse on another laptop also lenovo T530 it work
    i tried search on internet i fail to get any solution
    by the way
    mouse work correclty in repair mode  only

    There is no way you can virus check a Time Machine backup.. it is not stored in the TM backup in the same file structure as is used on the computer.
    You will have to wipe it.
    Must I clear the disk entirely? How woud I do that if I don't have Airport involved in the connection?
    Yes, wipe.
    I have no idea what disk you are using if it is not a Time Capsule.. but you do wipe of a hard disk on a Mac with the disk utility. Just reformat the drive.

  • Optical mouse for 10.6

    I've been trying various LASER mice for months, and I just can't get them adjusted to the feel I like. I love the OPTICAL mouse I use at work, on a Windows machine. Then I read about laser mice being more sensitive than optical mice, so maybe I just like a less sensitive mouse.
    But I'm having trouble finding an optical mouse that says it's compatible with Snow Leopard.
    Any suggestions? I would prefer wireless, but a wired USB mouse would be OK. Also, preferably one that is NOT designed for laptop or mobile use.

    I haven't tried the Magic Mouse, but I replaced the Mighty Mouse the same day I bought the iMac.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Windows 8 HP Pavillion Laptop won't boot from cd?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Windows 8 HP Pavillion Laptop. I've forgotten the password to my account, but I wasn't worried because I had a recovery disk. However, even with the cd in the laptop, I've directed to the login page each time. I want the cd to run instead and recover my account! I've enabled Legacy in BIOS and disable Safe Boot, and I've even changed startup order to put CD startup first. None of it's working though. Can anyone help me? I'd really like to access my laptop soon.
    Thanks,
    Alice

  • Problems with Vista 64b and Scrollpoint Optical Mouse

    I have a desktop system with a Scrollpoint Optical Mouse, 33L3250, and with the latest Vista maintenance, the Mouse seems to be acting a bit funky.  The mouse pointer will be going along fine, and then just stops for a couple of seconds.  
    I tried to go and find the latest drivers:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-66913
    as near as I can make out is the latest.  Shows:
    Version: 5.18 Release Date: 2009/09/11
    but this does not seem to recognize the Mouse, still using parts of the Microsoft Mouse driver.  Mouse is plugged in via PS2 at the moment.  When I go look at the programs installed, I cannot find anything from Lenovo or IBM related to the mouse, so I'm not sure if running Setup.exe from the appropriate directory worked (or, for that matter, how to uninstall it).  What I do see is MouseSuite 5.18 on the Mouse properties, last (right-most tab).  But the first tab kind of acts up, blank options, etc.
    Has anyone else seen this problem, worked through it?  Any later drivers I should be trying to use?

    OK, tried a reinstall, got a little further:
    Mouse Suite no shows up on the uninstall list (Mouse Suite, no manufacturer, no version, unfortunately, but does show a 1/3 date)
    When I go into Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Mouse, I see some anomalies:
    Buttons Tab:  Mouse: field is blank, Button:  Function: same, pull downs also blank
    Last tab shows Lenovo Mouse Suite, Version 5.18, etc.
    However, any time I press OK on one of the screens, I get a Windows error:  
    Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.  
    And then the whole thing goes down.  
    Looking at the application error messages, I see:
    Faulting application rundll32.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bb52, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e041d1, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000000012575, process id 0x8b8, application start time 0x01ca8c91ff6985bc
    I should note that the Hardware is still showing Microsoft PS/2 mouse, and the driver is still showing Microsoft 6/21/2006 6.0.6001.18000
    c:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\i8042prt.sys
    c:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\mouclass.sys
    which kind of looks to me like the Lenovo install failed to update those (or conversely, on reboot, Vista 64 reverted).  So not sure what to do next.

  • Using an optical mouse with my s10e

    Hi
    I am not able to use any optical mouse with my s10e. Ayn driver available?
    Thank you

    Hi, but that didnt solve your problem...
    I have a little quest for you, to near the fences around the wild mice ...  
    Did you use the factory installed XP  ?
    in that case...yes..
    in case of no jump to END
    Did other usb devices recognized , like flashdrive/external hdd/keyboard ?
    have you try it on both ports ? 
    if not ...
    have you activate /installed Quickstart ?,
    if yes .
    . then plug in the usb mouse and  
    start QS for testing...external mice/keyboard  should be recognized...
    if the answer is yes...  
    i think its better to set the XP system to fresh factory recover ,
    if you answer all upper quest with no your S10e mainboard could be broken , so you have to call for service.. 
    END
    Did you install the system self... ?
    yes
    Did you have complete XP with SP3 install ?
    yes
    Did you have shrink windows with nlite ?
    yes
    Did you install all drivers chipset and so on ..
    Did you have yellow signs in the system device manager ?
    hope that you find the solution...

  • Optical mouse problems

    I can't find answers or a closely related discussion.
    My Logitech Optical mouse started doing strange things today and was really bad, is now a bit better..but still not right.
    I can't open the 3 different volume icons on my desktop, except by highlighting the icon and opening it under Finder/File/Open....or Command O.
    Also, the screen/desktop occasionally and suddenly turns a deep blue-green shade and the windows zoom to opposite corners like....what? Expose? (not sure..don't use it). Just rapid, zooming windows.
    I can now scroll and open folders..couldn't earlier; windows would flash open and immediately close; couldn't drag/move the finder or application windows around the desktop; can now. Most of the improvements came after dumping the Logitech updates and all related files.
    I updated the Logitech software and the problem got a lot worse. Now I've tossed all the Logitech software and installed USB Overdrive 10.4.5; I've repaired permissions, run disk repair from a backup; rebuilt the directory w/DW; unplugged and plugged the mouse cable in again directly to the computer; rebooted.
    The problem occurs even when I boot from either of two external HD bootable system volumes. I have also run all utilities and created new directories for them. All is green on DW so I assume, from running on three different systems, that the common problem is the mouse. The remaining problems seem to be:
    -not being able to dbl or single click open the HD and other two volume icons on the desktop (I actually could for a while then lost it again); and
    -the disturbing blue-green screen that occurs occasionally and suddenly with the zooming windows. If I run the cursor over the windows, I get a little oval tag that tells the name of the window. If I click on the desktop then they disappear and return to the way they were. It's all fast like when Dashboard Widgets appear and disappear.
    Any ideas for help..please? I've been at it all day. Thanks.

    Have now discovered that a Safe Boot doesn't change anything, so I ran this terminal command and the result said each pref listed (and there were a lot) was OK.
    find ~/Library/Preferences /Library/Preferences-type f -name "*.plist" | sed -e"s/\(.*\)/\"\1\"/" | xargs plutil -lint
    I also discovered that when I have any app open, I can cause the dark blue-green screen by moving the cursor to the top left corner of the screen.
    This problem came on rather suddenly and I'm trying to think of what's new w/apps..think I updated ClamXav.app shortly before this started. I rarely use that but when I opened it, got the prompt for an update, so I did. Think I'll dump that and see what happens.
    Please..anyone out there have any idea what this problem is or what else I can check? Wasn't ClamXav!

  • Optical Mouse frozen?

    My 8330 optical mouse is not working...I have taken the battery out of the back numerous times.  I haven't dropped it or spilled it...Any suggestions?

    @Debbie Cohen Thank you very much to the community and you for posting. That is terrible about your phone’s optical track pad! Do you know if you have insurance on the device?
    If so you can go here: www.phoneclaim.com/verizon and make a claim.
    You can also call: 888-881-2622.
    I would advice making a claim as this is the best way to resolve the hardware issue that you are having. I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse dead

    I got what a Microsoft Notebook Wireless Optical Mouse back in May I think it was, worked great and loved it until yesterday, now it is unresponsive. I've "reset" it. Tried it on several different machines including Windows XP, all the same results, simply no response. System profiler recognizes the receiver is there. I guess it just died, too soon for that, bummed. Any ideas? I'm going to beat on it and possible freeze it for fun since I have nothing to loose.

    My problem is kinda similar. After a pretty severe problem with the Mac the other day (and doing an Archive and Install of OSX 10.4) I have found my MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 is not working properly. Basically I cannot designate the buttons to do what I want them to do. I have tried the MS software (Intellipoint 5.1) and USB Overdrive (10.4) both of which I have used successfully in the past. However, with USB O/D installed every button becomes a control + click. With the MS software it just ignores my preferences.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get round this, it is very frustrating not having the buttons do what I am used to them doing.

  • Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse doesnt work with mac os x 10.4.5?

    I just bought a Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse in japan to use with my powerbook running os x 10.4.5...the mouse doesnt seem to work with the native bluetooth system. so I plugged in the supplied reciever and could get the mouse to move the cursor, but only that. buttons dont work. I down loaded some kind of device manager from the logitech web site but just as the apple bluetooth manager it does not "discover" the mouse.
    I noticed that the system requirements for the logitech device manager is osx 10.3 - 10.4.2 so im wondering if my system is to new for this product.
    all this i found out after i bought the mouse, and it is a little irritating...it said it was mac compatible on the box...
    should I be waiting for an update from logitech or apple concerning this problem.
    or is there an easy fix/ anyone else have this problem?
    thanks

    Hi, © !       — or do you prefer Ulfur?
    What model?   "A Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse" covers a lot of territory. For example, I have a CordlessOptical11 mouse that's several years old — and IrDA, not Bluetooth. This Logitech page contains a chart defining the name and "device model string" for each product, based on the M/N stamped into the bottom of your mouse. Better safe than sorry: Logitech's support — particularly for Mac folk — can be somewhat challenging. [1] 
    From there, you might try to confirm that you have the correct driver from Logitech's Support »» Downloads »» Mice page —
                         — but, Oops! — unfortunately, it may only link to Windows-compatible drivers.
    Logitech has used their own patented RF technology for years — and some of their "Bluetooth" products "may not" actually provide Bluetooth functionality in Macs. (OK, that was tongue-in-cheek: I really mean "do not.") The mice usually work, though.
    AFAIK, Logitech Control Center 1.6.2 is their latest driver for USB mice. (They have other mouse drivers, too.)
    However, as this page explains, their V270 Bluetooth mouse supposedly doesn't require a driver separate from what's provided by Apple.
    You may want to search this forum for differing views on this. Also, go to this Logitech user forums page and click to select the Macintosh forum. I won't deny you the (dis-?)pleasure of reading about others' experiences...
    [1]  Sorry, I don't mean to be as discouraging as I've probably made things sound. Most Mac folks have actually had pretty good experience with Logitech USB and Bluetooth mice — but Logitech Support's attitude toward Mac users could be improved. Please check things to confirm what's what — then post back, and I — or someone else who's using an MX900 or MX1000 or V270 or whatever Logitech mouse — will try to help further.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you,
    Sincerely,
    Dean
    [2]  The links I've provided all work within Logitech's US website (I just tested). If appropriate, you may want to start fresh from the Logitech home page and find comparable international pages.

  • Optical mouse (AVF AM1940U) is not working in CQ40-101TU which is running Windows 7 32-bit.

    Hi. I'm using Compaq CQ40-101TU which is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.. My optical mouse (AVF AM1940U) is not working in USB ports. The pointer of mouse is always stuck at top of the screen. I can move the mouse left or right to both edges of the screen at the top and can right click in this regard it works but I cannot move the mouse down the screen. 
    What is the problem? May I know how to solve it?
    Thanks.

    Ya. Another mouse didn't have problem. This is the first time I face this problem. When this optical mouse is plugged into USB ports, the driver named "iBall Advanced Mouse" is being installed. After that, my mouse cannot working.
    Is that I have to install another driver before using this mouse?
    Thanks.
