Wireless mouse problem


Recommended Posts

After a driver update obtained from windows update I'm no longer able to boot windows xp with the mouse receiver plugged in(it boots but take more then 5min).

So I would like to know if I can get a copy of the old driver(xp original driver) or maybe someone knows other one that work.

I have already tried to update to the latest drivers found at genius website.

Rolling back the driver doesn't work.

It works fine on windows vista and windows 7

mouse model: Genius Traveler 600

windows xp sp3

windows update driver description:

KYE SYSTEMS CORP. - Input Devices - Wireless Scroll Mouse

KYE mouse software update released on December 16 2003.

thx.

PS. windows update installed incompatible drivers for my printer too...but I got that solved already.

Rolling back the driver doesn't work.

What do you mean by that - do you get an error message?

This is the mechanism to use if a bad driver was installed; simply roll it back to the previous (working) version.

P.S. to find the best driver for a device try http://www.drivermax.com/

some more info:

When the receiver isn't plugged in windows boots normal.

when the receiver is plugged windows boots until the point when the welcome screen should show up then the screen turns black and stay so for like 5min(no hd's activity at all) and then the welcome screen finally apears.

If I plug out the receiver while the the windows is showing that black screen it just boots instantaneously.

PS. that's on windows xp sp3 and was working fine until windows update decided to update the old driver.

Could it be that your mouse is not as up to date as your new driver? Maybe a new mouse, fresh out of the nest, might be the answer.
