Re: Problem Installing MICE on a HP L2000 Laptop

Hi Robert,

The problem is that you are dual-booting between WinME and XP SP1. The
problem isn't WinME, as the problem is XP SP1. Upgrade to Service Pack 2.
Download the BelArc Advisor 7.2v version and make sure all Hotfixes have
been properly installed.

Where are you plugging the Mouse into? PS/2 or a USB port?

I have a HP L2005CO running XP SP2. I am unable to Install Any kind of an
External Mouse. Tried my MS Wheel Mouse & Optical USB & PS/2 Compatible
that was running on my Dual Boot Dell [WinME & XP SP1]. Then I tried A
Logitech LX7 which wouldn't work so it Got returned. We Then Purchased a HP
EW207AA Wireless but it Fails them same way as the Others did. I get the
message that says and I quote

Cannot Install this Hardware

There was a problem installing this Hardware

HID-Compliant Mouse

an Error occurred during the installation of the device

The data is Invalid

Close Quote

When I go to control panel and check systems/hardware/device manager/mice
and other pointing devices I see the Synaptics and an Unknown Device. If I
try to Update Driver it does the same thing.

What I need to find out is exactly what files/Drivers are being installed
I check mouse.inf from Windows/Inf. But can't figure it out
Been around the HORN several times with HP Techs but they don't seem to be
able to grasp the Problem

I'm hoping someone out there can provide some assistance.

I am thinking of Trying a "REPAIR" thinking that might replace the bad
files

I haven't tried anything from the RUN Box I am nor sure if there is
Diagnostic that can be run that would point me in the right direction
I saw a post about SFC. So I am now running SFC /Scannow

TIA
