HOW DO I GET A MOUSE TO WORK ON MY DELL NOTEBOOK?
I have a Dell Inspiron Notebook with the "pressure-touch?" pointing device. I prefer using a mouse at home.
I've tried two different Logitech USB Optical mouses (mices?) along with changing the settings in Control Panel but my machine won't recognize them. Tried downloading appropriate Logitech drivers but still, no luck. What am I missing??? Thanks for any help.
Thanks, but the USB ports (6) all work when I plug in Memory Sticks, etc., and everything else is okay, it just won't recognize the mices.

I'd go with the Vaio. I'm a hardcore Dell person, all my Laptops are Dells, but I'm not impressed with the Studio Laptops. They are quite thick, for one thing. As for the mouse, I have a Microsoft mouse right now and love it.

Are you sure your USB plug is good? Can you plug in a printer or external drive to verify??
I have had bad USB plugs before.
I use a usb mouse on my Dell Latitude quite often and it is just plug and play. Works perfect always.
Good Luck

Sounds like a bad USB port. It should work with no problem.

should just recognise it as a standard mouse to begin with - sounds like your USB driver database is messed up or deleted - run a repair over windows to fix this

"THE MICES?"
I was about to tell you how to do it until I saw that you write "the mices." You idiot. LEARN BASIC ENGLISH.
