Mouse Pointer Is Missing - How To Repair It?

A mouse is a very important input device in a computer

. It will be quite inconvenient to operate your PC without the help of a mouse. When the mouse pointer is missing on screen, we should fix it in an orderly way.

Software problems

First, check your trouble in the Device Manager sheet. If your mouse pointer is missing on start or you can not install it when Windows prompts you to, you should check if there is an exclamatory mark beside your PS/2 device in the Device Manager, and the only method to enter this sheet is to utilize your keyboard.

* Step 1 Press "Windows" key and "Pause break" key together at the same time to open the System Properties sheet.

* Step 2 Press the direction key "" to switch to "Hardware" tab, click "Tab" key one time and press "Enter" to open Device Manager.

* Step 3 In the Device Manager sheet, press "Tab" key one time so as to get into the box. Next click the direction key "" and go to "Mice and other pointing devices".

* Step 4 On "Mice and other pointing devices", press "" key to extend it.

Second, update your mouse driver. If an exclamatory mark is next to your pointing device, you should consider updating your mouse driver and the best and the quickest way to perform all your updates automatically is to download a driver tool likeDriver Helper.

Third, clean viruses or reinstall the operating system. If your mouse pointer moves again by restarting your PC, probably your computer has been poisoned and you need to scan and clean all viruses, or reinstall the operating system if the problem system is the culprit.

Hardware Problems

If there is no exclamatory mark beside your PS/2 device, try the following tips:

First, test your mouse on another good computer. If your mouse is available on another computer, well then possibly your motherboard port is damaged or the mouse is disabled in BIOS. Read your motherboard manual and enable this device in BIOS as per the instructions.

Second, install another trouble-free mouse to your computer. If this mouse works properly on your computer, it proves that the former mouse has a glitch. Usually the cause is the poor connection in your mouse circuit board, which is easy to be fixed as long as the PS/2 connector is not broken. However, if your mouse is aging itself over time, commonly changing a new one is the best solution.

Third, the serial port on your motherboard or PS/2 port is mangled. For this, you need to replace the motherboard or use the port on a multifunction card.
