NF750-G55 - Does not detect usb mouse (have to plugin after boot into Windows)

Topic says it all...
Mouse is Microsoft Habu, has been working in my old system just fine (ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE). The only usb items plugged in are the mouse and my Logitech G11 Keyboard.
I just upgraded my old rig to what you see in my signature, my mouse will not get detected unless I replug it in after windows has started.
During boot after initializing usb controller it says Found: 1 Keyboard and 1 Hub
I have tried the following but with no successful results:
PS2 Keyboard with mouse (mouse behaves the save)
Mouse w/usb->ps2 adapter (mouse lights up but doesn't do anything in windows)
Mouse plugged into every different port on the MOBO, D-Bracket, front panel usb or even into keyboard
Different mouse (boot says Found: 1 Keyboard, 1 Mouse, 1 Hub) and this mouse works all the time
USB Legacy On/Off inside bios
I also have a USB powered hard drive (http://www.simpletech.com/products/storage/simpledrive-mini/red-wine-250gb.php) that when plugged into the motherboard was making a beeping sound but I can't find any information on what that means (if anything)
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with a couple of different boards, but with a Razer Copperhead mouse. I ended up just buying a new mouse (PS/2 type).

My v3753au (32bit win7) bios cannot detect internal dvdrom & hard to detect internal hdd?

hi...
my v3753au is wonderfully running on 32 bit win7. lately the bios cannot detect the internal dvdrom & kinda hard to detect (longer than usual) the internal hdd during startup. i've tried with the other dvdrom & it's still the same. however, the one that i used is still ok on other laptop. fyi, i've tried with the original f.15 version as well as the latest f.28 version but both let me down. when win7 runs, dvdrom doesn't appear either in win explorer or device manager. i've also checked the registry for that filter thing but it isn't there. any suggestions of what should i try next?
tq for the help...

> I couldn't reinstall/recover new system from CD cos Win7 couldn't detect any drive while installing.
Its no matter if the SATA mode is set to AHCI or compatible mode. The HDD should be recognized by BIOS even if the AHCI mode has been selected.
At the first BIOS page the HDD should be listed with the name and size.
If it isnt the case, it could be possible that your HDD controller is faulty.
What HDD did you purchase exactly? Is it a 2.5 SATA HDD?

It helps if you provide details - not just a problem
What exactly dod you have and have you done?
What version of iPhoto did you have and what version do you now have? Of the OS? If you are upgrading from iphoto '08 or earlier did you download and RUN the iphoto library upgrader?

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

Vendor is not extended to a Co Code but still able to create a PO

Hi Guys
I got an issue here. A Vendor "X "is not extended to a Company code 'Y" but still able to create a PO without any error or warning message. ( Normally system wont allow and throws a error message saying Vendor not extended to a Company Code) But its not happening here!!
Do we need to maintain any configuration so that SAP wont allow to use a vendor which is not extended to a particular Company Code. Or is it a Master Data Issue?
Please help
Thanks
Reeves

Charile
Thanks for your response, Is there any way we Stop users selecting the Vendor which is not maintained to that Company Code?
Thanks

Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!! Janice

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes

Cannot boot into Windows XP, should I replace hard drive?

THE PROBLEM: I have not been able to boot into or use Windows XP (SP2) for almost 3 years. I have been using Linux instead for 3 years and am using it now. The Windows Recovery process only half works, it works up until you have to boot up the computer from the hard drive. Then it no longer works. The computer will load the files from the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD that came new with the computer onto the hard drive. But when you get to the point of booting off the hard drive, with newly added Windows & Toshiba files, nothing happens. It does not boot up into Windows XP. In fact I can see the newly added Windows & Toshiba fileson the hard drive when I boot into Linux (Live) off the hard drive.
THE HARD DRIVE (Specs below): I ran a SMART Data check using a Linux (Ubuntu) Disk utility on the hard drive and it passed everything except for Reallocated Sector Count. There are 20 bad sectors. I called the Toshiba 800 # on the DVD and they told me that the problem may be the hard drive. A new TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD costs $40. Toshiba also said there is no Windows XP Recovery Console on the DVD.
CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: I think, and TOSHIBA agreed it is either the hard drive or corrupteD files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I have found a couple of sites that seem to have instructions for making a Windows XP Recovery Console CD. And I have thought I might try to run some Windows XP Recovery Console commands from such a CD, such as fixboot, fixmbr, etc. The try to see if I can boot into Windows XP from the hard drive. If I can, then that might suggest he problem is corrupted files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. If I still cannot boot into Windows, then maybe I should replace the hard drive. This should be very easy to do.
QUESTION(S): Does anybody have any comments or suggestions? Does my approach sound good? Do you have any other suggestions?
I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L25 S1216 that I bought new in early 2006. It has a 40 GB (5400 RPM) Enhanced IDE (ATA-6) 9.5 mm height hard disk drive in it. User removable, i.e., it is easy to replace.
Thank you,
Bob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My plan is to try to use the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD to load the WIndows XP files onto the hard drive, then use the Windows XP Recovery console CD I downloaded from here
http://www.proposedsolution.com/downloads/download-windows-recovery-console/
by using commmands such as fxmbr, fixboot, etc to see if I can get the computer to boot up into Windows XP.
Good plan, Bob!
Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users
A backup plan would be to obtain a Windows XP installation CD from eBay or wherever. They are super cheap now. Then you could install Windows clean and add the drivers and utilities from the website here. Or you could use it to repair-install Windows.
How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install
You are entitled to activate Home Edition for free. I understand that even after Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP (in April), they will honor activation attempts.
I wouldn't mess with SSDs. And stick with IDE PATA drives. You won't need to worry about advanced-format technology since that didn't come along until the very recent SATA drives. Your BIOS should support 120GB (KB303013). Some here.
