Default Cursor stopped mouse dead?
Hello.. recently I was using my computer, everything working perfectly.. then my cursor sticks-froze-won't move. I tried to reboot but the cursor is stuck in same place on the screen. I checked all connections on my Logitech optical mouse, new batteries, etc. Then I reinstalled the mouseware, to no avail. I have never seen anything like this and it is hard to troubleshoot (for me anyway) without the use of the mouse. I do not know what to do now. I can't even begin to guess what has happened here. Anyone who can suggest? I am thinking of taking the Logitech optical mouse back for a replacement. but I still don't know what is best here. Help, please anyone.
Thank you kindly.

Its weird it (the cursor) is stuck on screen. I do not
know how to navigate well without the mouse. The mouse does not work at all. I was thinking of a replacement mouse. I have not tried another mouse yet.

I am going to try to get a replacement today. I am not sure about this but, if I get another optical mouse and connect, it should recognize right away shouldn't it?
I am not sure about the "how to" on this situation.
Any suggestions?

My Logitech wireless optical (mx 700) wouldn't work either after a reboot. I dealt with their tech support and they said to use the PS2 adapter instead of USB. Not sure which model you have or if it's USB but it's worth a try.

FROM ROYDEN : I got a new optical mouse and once I plugged it in, the cursor started moving and all is well. Thanks for your support and help.


P.S. ROYDEN contacted me on AIM .

If this happens again maybe try turning down hardware acceleration one or two notches, it used to happen to me way back in the day and that sorted it
