Yes...reinstall the mouse software. If that doesn't work, the rodent may have died. :tazz:

I've got to step out for a bit, but will check back when I return...possibly a couple of hours.

VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller

There's the USB problem... :tazz:

Do you have the cd for your motherboard?

Let's see if we can get Windows to reinstall the USB first. Go to Device Manager to the USB entry with the ! by it. Right click on the device and select "Remove"...accept the change. Now reboot and see if Windows will detect and reinstall the device.

They should all install at once. Should only take a couple of minutes.

Sooo should I remove all 5 from the Device Manager or just the one with the yellow !

Cos when I remove just the one with the yellow ! and reboot ...it comes up the same.

Have you run the installer cd? If not, just put the ASUS cd in the cd-rom drive and run the motherboard driver installer from cd.
