Hey all. After I installed Windows Update KB938371 and restarted, my mouse ceased functioning. I have a generic Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. The keyboard continued to work just fine, but not the mouse. Vista recognizes the mouse as a "HID-compliant mouse". My guess is that something happens to the drivers after the update. When I check the mouse properties after the update has been installed, it lists NO information about it or the drivers. I used system restore to bring the computer back to the point before I installed the update, and the mouse is working again.


Here is the update that is causing the problem:


Update for Windows Vista (KB938371)

Download size: 4.9 MB

You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.

Update type: Important

Install this update to enable future updates to install successfully on all editions of Windows Vista. This update may be required before selected future updates can be installed. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed.

More information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938371

Any suggestions or workarounds? This is a critical update pre-SP1, so I'd like to install it at some point. Thanks in advance.

This my mouse:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/958&cl=us,en

And according to that page, "This device uses the native drivers when used with Microsoft Vista™."

So, I'm not sure what to do.

I tried that already. The computer won't recognize the mouse when I do that. This is really irritating, I wish I knew why this was happening.
