Help Plz, Problems Came From Nowhere?

[biggyd13]

Hey guys, Ok this is what happened, I was on last night and the computer was fine, I shut it down last night. Then this morning I go to turn it on, and I have no mouse cursor, my screen size is 640-480 and its on 16-bit color. So after an hour of pressing tab to get the the right place, I change the screen to 800-600, then to a higher bit can't remember, 256bit I'm pretty sure. It tells me I must restart before the changes to place, well once it starts back up, my network password comes up, and i never had that set to do that, then the Display never changed. I still have no mouse, I went to the tower, unplugged then replugged everything back and still no mouse. I had to get to this site by using tab. I ran Norton Antivirus just now, and it came up with 2 viruses. It said they were fixed, but I don't know what to do. Please if you guys can help me quick, I would appreciate it, This has never happened before.

[adambailey]

why dont you try to reinstall you mouse via the control pannel

 

[mobo]

If the mouse is listed in device manager , delete it and reboot.

I didn't check the names of the viruses I was just stoked I had 2, and as for reinstalling the control panel, I'll try, but I don't have any software for the mouse, it uses a USB port, I'll see if I can reinstall My Control Panel.

Is it just a regular plug n play mouse ? If so then delete it and reboot and windows will install it.

 

[biggyd13]

[mobo]

Right click it in device manager and it will either be under properties or it will just show delete. do so then reboot.
