Hi!
I´ve got pure Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse. Vista Business did yesterday *THAT UPDATE*. Also facing the same problem - no mice work after that. Tried 3 different mice, none of them work. MS guys should better fix this s**t before i go back to Win XP. This isnt the first time when problems occur under Vista. Why the f*** did they do Vista so much different from XP ???? P.s. I tried to uninstall those updates mentioned above, then restarted Vista using "last good configure" (before Windows is loading press F8). I see two chances - wether new updates will fix this issue or i must format C This post has been edited by firewolf: Apr 11 2008, 04:39 PM |

nah, lucky You!
I have turned off System Restore because of my 20 Gb hard drive. Also I have heard that it makes computer bit slower because restore point takes recources both from HDD and CPU. And since i have laptop, i`ve turned off all thing that i dont need Wonder if it is possible to install Windows Vista unlimited times (when registering thru network)??

Lucky you.... After the update my cursor vanished, my touchpad doesn't respond and neither does the keyboard. Safemode didn't help either and like firewolf my system restore is disabled. I think my only option is reinstalling Vista... hopefully it'll work and repair the damage. Oh did I mention I hate Vista?

Surfing around Microsoft page, found similar discussion about this topic:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsg...p;sloc=&p=1 People have managed out, that "the bad guy" is update KB938371 !!!! Although this fact doesnt help us anymore. Uninstalling this is useless. It has already overwritten Windows files. I wonder what files were changed by this update... maybe this helps to solve the problem by copy-paste these files/regKeys manually....

have you tried another USB port or gone to device manager in the control panel under hardware and sound and tried to uninstall it and put your mouse back in see if it installs the drivers for it or it even sees it's actually plugged in just think that it might of been windows done something to the mouse driver or USB port
although i never got this problem its worth a try

Have you tried to uninstall the update through add and remove programs.(then reboot) Here is a link to key board short cuts if anyone is interested. http://www.cantoraccess.com/keyaccess/keyaccessfaq.htm#c3 --------------------  |

I think that uninstalling is impossible, because Windows system files are overwitten (read: "updated").
