Mice not working

[Johnniey]

I have 3 mice and none of them are working on any of my 3 computers or my CCTV box.

2 of the mice have red lights that come on but just don't work. I recently changed to windows 8 but have been working fine until now.

Any ideas?

It's illegal for mice to be employed in a job that a Thai can do...

Try them on another computer first. Maybe yiu have a USB port that stopped working, happened to me.

None work on any of your computers. That is just bad luck. Do you know anybody with a working mouse you can use to check on your computers?

Probably paying them chicken feed as well.

Are they USB or Wireless or the old serial type? We are guessing as USB is most used today - but many new units are wireless so have to have receiver in the USB slot.

But cheap mice are often prone to work-stoppage. So would not rule out them all being bad - must have been a reason you bought new mice?

Do you have a touchscreen by chance? Some websites do not work with mice if you do (they default to touch). even in Windows 7. DTAC is a good/bad local example.

I'd show them Fat Freddie's cat.......................

You might not get the drivers for the mouse. Check under " Device Manager" if your system detects your mouse. Update the driver online, by right clicking update driver online.

If that doesn't help, please try cheese.
