my cursor is stuck on one side and does not move wth the mouse, though i can use the mouse button functions.
before the window starting screen appears the cursor actually moves from the centre to the side and remains stuck there.
i went into setup but did not find anything relating to mouse and io devices.
please help me asap.






thanks and regards

mouse is ps/2 / logitech optical m-sbf96. i googled and found out that if i unplugged and reboot and then plug in it should work but only thing that changed was that it came to the centre but was still irresponsive. the ps/2 driver was installed byt logitech setpoint.
i plugged in my wacom it worked once but when i restarted once more it to went irresponsive.

Uninstall the Mouse from Device Manager, and restart the system. Drivers should be installed upon itself, after restart automatically.

if possible below or around 1k suggest a gaming mouse
and for a normal mouse suggest best bang for my buck.
i found a prodot office mouse for mere 150 rs at a local store but it was usb so i delayed the purchase as i couldnt decide wether to buy aps/2 or a usb.

but if iam buying a usb mouse then it better be a gaming mouse i play online rpg and click alot and as u know i sometimes design with mouse too.
i found this on amazon is this any good ? *www.amazon.in/gp/product/B011HMDZ0Q?ref_=gb1h_tit_m-8_8507_e5c311e6&smid=A2CRRONKSJQ8AC

be it red dragon or dragonwar - these mouse are not very comfortable to use - my personal feeling.

If you don't care about warranty this one is good :
Amazon.in: Buy E-Blue Silenz 2400 Adjustable DPI Red Wave LED Wired USB Mouse - EMS145 Online at Low Prices in India | E-Blue Reviews & Ratings

If you want something cheap then you can get Genius XScroll - comes in ps2 and usb both variant.

If you want a really good gaming mouse get Logitech G400s

Get Logitech G400s as it is better than all those 2nd hand company mouses.
