Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
Yesterday my Vista32 Ultimate was working fine, this morning it was in
Standby mode - not normal behavior, as I have backups & scanning running most of the night. Powered on and found mouse didn't work. After that keyboard failed. Worked on it, found it to be Win problem but not sure what. Reading here I may be victim of USB problem, though I've been running fine since Christmas. Tried Safe mode, no change. Eventually got it back to Last Good Config and it worked but before I could do a restore it loaded new device drivers for my USB, apparently 3 drivers - Generic USB Hub, USB Composite Device, & USB Human Interface. Once they loaded keyboard and mouse died and even a restore to Last Known Good hasn't fixed the problem. I also tried a ps2 connector keyboard & mouse and they didn't work either... not quite sure why there, as I thought that was different than USB, but hey... I don't know everything. (smile) Any thoughts, directions, assistance appreciated on how to get my system running again. Thanks! Scott |

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
I too am having some sort of mouse trouble after the patches yesterday, and
as of yet, no fix, but as far as the ps2 , you may want to make sure legacy support is enabled in the bios if you haven't been using them, maybe it was disabled or not enabled. My problem seems to be a duplicate instal in device manager under human interface devices, and mouse pointers. I would be curious to know if you have same thing, but i don't know how you can find out if you dont have mouse or keyboard working :/ Good Luck "Scott J.

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
It may well be what happened, as I was able to get back to Last Known Config
once and that's when I noticed it loading the device drivers for USB... I saw it load 3 drivers, Generic USB Hub, USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface... and it did this two times. As to the PS2, for the mouse, I had to re-enable it in Bios, but it didn't fix Win problem nor did using ps2 kybd. Again, not sure why, as I thought that was different drivers/different hw. Have tried System Restore off Vista install disk, but it never runs. It SAYS it's running but nothing ever comes up. Ran Fix System and it says nothing is wrong. Sigh... Thanks for trying.

your restore point should still exist, you could disconnect your internet,
and restore again, buying yourself a chance to poke around without it updating on ya "Scott J.

Good Point.
Hadn't thought of that, but will try it. Thanks!

I am also having the same problem, but this doesn't exactly solve the problem.
Is there anything that can fix this issue caused by windows update? Thanks, Rui Guimarães "Scott J. Stringfellow" wrote: Good Point. Hadn't thought of that, but will try it. Thanks!

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
Yep, same exact issues here. Definitely an Automatic Updates issue. Spent
three hours last night trying the exact same fixes. I plugged another mouse into a different USB port and did a restore to an earlier date but the mouse didn't work. So I unplugged it and plugged my other wireless mouse and keyboard back into it's normal USB port and they started working fine. Then this morning my computer automatically installed the updates again and I had no mouse again!!

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
More and more complaints are rolling in, we can only hope they will get it
fixed and patch again to help us out :/ It sure seems to be usb related, HID devices,(mice and keyboards) most notably. Obviously there are many out there without a 2nd pc, who are probably stuck without a mouse/keyboard who can't even ask for help. "Cameron" wrote: Yep, same exact issues here.

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
OK My problem is similar enough to post, the only difference is I'm running x64 Ultimate. Since yesterdays update, no USB mouse will work. To troubleshoot I: Changed batteries. Changed the Mouse to a different USB mouse Changed the USB ports. Tried PS2 PS2 are the only ones that work. My USB ports are fine, I can see drives etc from them, but not the mice. When I try to plug in my logitech Cordless Trackman, it tries to install drivers, which it doesn't need to do. What the... Soooooo who do I yell at to get my mice working again? I hate ps2. -- DesireeStar |

Vista32, new driver? & USB Mouse/Keyboard not working
x64 vista home premium here, I narrowed down my problem to vista trying to
find a driver for HID mouse, if i cancel out it keeps working without error, just pops up everytime i reboot... new hardware found and driver instal failed. Mouse shows no error in device manager and I installed 64bit intellipoint with no problem, just no driver for HID mouse device. The problem is definetly related to USB , HID, and seemingly the patch a few days ago triggered it, although removing the patches did not fix it for me.
