I've Just reformatted my computer, loaded the internet and Norton anti-virus on to it, but after i ran all the live updates and scanned everything i restarted it and now my mouse wont work. Its a new mouse, brought it the other day.

This was my second attempt at reformatting the comp, the first time the same thing happened but i lost my keyboard as well, this time its just the mouse not working.

it is an usb mouse, but it was working fine til i installed norton and restarted my comp

So can anyone help?

Bloody big hard drive you must have there! :eek:


No, seriously, did you install the motherboard drivers?

Get rid of Norton, it causes nothing but problems. Losing your mouse is the least of them.
