How can I tell if my mouse is dead?!

    Windows XP Pro

    I have a USB powered Fujitsu Siemens Laser mouse.

    The wheel is still working, but the pointer no longer moves.

    I've tried a few USB sockets, but to no avail.

    Is it possible that Windows is no longer "seeing" it? If so, how can I reset it?

    Many thanks.

    D.

    No harm in trying to reinstall the mouse:

    Goto Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager.

    Find the driver for your mouse and uninstall (plug it out before install)

    Then restart and plug it back in, should reinstall the drivers automatically

    OK, it's dead.

    Just replaced it.

    Thanks.
