Troubleshooting is tough

The laptop of mine is a fickle one. Every once in a while, like a horse throwing a shoe, the laptop will throw a fit and not work with the mouse. I noticed though, that it didn't want to work with a mouse made after 2000, and will work with one made before 2000. Well, that is a driver issue with the mouse. I had bought an Optical Mouse for the eMachine and it came with a CD of drivers. The CD is Microsoft brand specific, and since the mouse it acts up with is a Microsoft, I loaded the CD. Before I did, I plugged the Optical Mouse on the laptop and it didnt work. With the new drivers, it should work across the board with other mice now.

I'll be back. Gonna shower.
