MS mouse and keyboard - Windows keeps wanting to install drivers

My system is Vista Ultimate. I have a wired MS basic optical mouse 'v2.0' Optical, and wired MS keyboard 600. When Windows has started, it keeps wanting to install device drivers for the keyboard and mouse even though they work OK. In device manager they are loaded correctly as "Microsoft Wired Optical Mouse 2.0" and "Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600" but the system still detects these as "new hardware" and runs the hardware detection wizard thing and tries to find the drivers for these on the HDD and through Windows Update, even though they are already running with the latest

I want to return all keyboard commands to default state.

Hi, I think I have inadvertanly carried out a keystroke and not realised I've done it. I have made no alterations to anything but suddenly, I have noticed that my screen display is bright and washed out. It's not EVER so bright, but bright enough for me to want it to go away again. So that I can rule that out (or it may be that) can someone tell me how to to a blanket removal of keyboard shortcuts, if that is possible? Thanks

I am not sure why the issue is happenin

HP 1610 and/or 4315 all in one printers wont complete reinstall process

Hi, I tried to reinstall all software for the above after following all solutions from HP website. The software installs up to 96% and then hangs there for both printers I do not know what is causing this problem. The printers will still print, but the icon HP printer solution does not detect printer and therefore I cannot scan a document to email or detect ink levels. Has anybody had the same problem and what did you do about it? I think if I reinstalled all vista software cleanly and made a clean boot this would solve problem. This process would be timely and I want to

Lost path to boot drive - Help please

I have a Windows Vista Ultimate system with 4 SATA hard drives configured to look like IDE drives through an ASUS motherboard.

That drive showed as drive H:. I've been trying to get the new drive to show as drive c:, as all my applications want to read data or write settings to drive C:.

External drives

Hey everyone, i just got my 500gb Seagate drive back after it bricked from the little firmware issue they had. I also just purchased a 1TB WD drive. I don't really trust the Seagate any more and want to use the 1tb drive as a backup. I had backed up everything 6 months ago but it's amazing how much stuff you accumulate in 6 months time. I am not too knowledgable in hardrives. Not enough to do anything complicated. Right now i am running Vista Ultimate 64 on the Seagate. Could i put another copy of Vista on the 1tb drive and just copy what i want over to it? That way if the Seagate

Blank Laptop screen - intermittent

Hi All, My HP Pavillion dv9500 laptop screen has gone blank. The computer works fine and is able to use a monitor plugged into the VGA port. I thought the screen just went out, it's just over 2 years old and of course, 2 months out of warrenty. However, after the sceen had not worked for about a week, it came back on. I was using the laptop with a monitor, and all of a sudden, a window popped up and asked if I wanted to duplicate the 2nd monitor or stretch the desktop across both monitors. I looked over at the laptop screen, and sure enough, it was back on! I turned off the co

HP Pavillion a1632x

I have a HP Pavillion a1632x which came with XP, but was advertised to be upgradeable to Vista. Later on, this option was not supported. This falls on false advertising! Doesn't HP have trial drivers? I called HP, but they don't seem to support Vista for this machine. Last week, I was infected by a virus and was unable to recover my XP OS. I received a copy of Vista at a trade show, and decided to install it, as I did not want to shell out $30 for the CDs. Besides, I heard that Vista was far better after Service pack 1. Does anyone know where to get device drivers for the

Dvd Drive Disappears randomly

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. This is my first post. Anyways, I have a dvd drive (Hitachi that is detected in the bios and sometimes by windows vista home premium) This is stock on my laptop, both the operating system and the dvd drive. I have not ever added another os or did a factory restore. I contacted my laptops brand (gateway) and they told me a factory restore was needed before sending this machine back. Things I have tried... - System restore to an earlier point in time (don't have any to that point) - Deleting upper and lower bounds in the registry - uninstalli

mouse scrollwheel will not scroll

I installed an HP wireless mobile mouse in my laptop and the scroll wheel does not work. It shows the Auto-scroll icon on the screen when I click the wheel but does not move the screen vertically or horizontally. Manually scrolling with the wheel does nothing either. I checked the HP website and have the latest drivers, and their troubleshooting/help is no help. The "mouse settings" window I get from Control Panel/mouse only sets the amount of lines you want scrolled (this mouse wheel has vertical and side-to-side movement). I have tried uninstalling/disabling other mice liste

Partition Swapping

XPS/Dimension 630i. This came with a 600GB HDD and I added a 1.5TB HDD. The 600 came with Vista and I created a 100GB partition on the 1.5TB for Windows 7. I now want to place 7 on the 600GB and move Vista to the 100GB partition. I've imaged both the 600GB and 100GB separately using Acronis. Can I use the Windows 7 image and restore it to the 600GB HDD and vise versa? -- "Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you."

Networking a scanner??

I have a home network with three PC's. Two desktops and a laptop. In the network is a Samsung SCX-4725 FN multifunction printer/scanner. All computers can print on the 4725. At present it is connected via a usb cable to the Vista PC. A NIC cable connects it to the network via an Airlink wireless router whose wired setup is as a switch. The scanner function is seen on the Vista computer as an imaging device. Is there a way to have the scanner capability shared so that documents can be scanned to either desktop PC ?

Interesting Microsoft's wireless mouse project: line of sight or what?

I've never used wireless mice or keyboards before and need to learn how reliable they are when used in "proximity" to a small form factor PC that will be mounted "behind" a HDTV mounted to a wall. I'm planning to put the keyboard and mouse in a box mounted to the wall just below the HDTV hung on the wall inches above. When the lid of the box is opened it will swing down like a tray holding the keyboard and mouse but I don't know if this will be allow the keyboard and mouse to operate? How would Microsoft's wireless keyboard and mice work then? I'll continue to do some looking

display color of characters changes

I have an HP w2338h monitor and Radeon HD 4650 video card set for 1920 X 1080. I have updated drivers for both. When using Windows Help and selecting a link to another section the link should change to magenta. It does, but some of the characters display partially in magenta and the original color. If I move the window around on the screen the characters that are displayed this way change. It is as if there is a problem with the pixels lining up with the characters. Cleartype is enabled. This only seems to happen with the font used in Windows Help, and the same font in other appl

Uninstall a mouse driver?

My daughter's Acer laptop seems to have a touchpad that is erratic. When she's typing, she always has to watch the monitor, because the cursor will just jump anywhere without any warning. I'm assuming it's because there is something wrong with the touchpad. I've used her computer a few times, and I want to drop-kick it. She's fine with using a USB mouse, but I'm sure how to disconnect the touchpad. If we uninstall the pointer device, will that mess anything up? Is it easy to undo, if we do? When I get ready to uninstall, it asks me to confirm that I want to delete those f

I got the virus off and used both computers for a while, until the monitor went out on the old one. I just bought a Sylvania television with computer input and hooked it up.

2nd harddisk for dv7-3020

I have bought an identical HDD to the one already installed to fit into the 2nd drive slot but cannot find anywhere where I can buy the lead to connect it to the mainboard. Having now tried over 15 companies, including HP, I am becoming frustrated. Does anyone know where the lead can be purchased? It is a SATA socket on one end and a very very small plug on the other and is only around one inch long. (Please note that it does not connect directly to the mainboard in the usual clip-in method
