Title: Win7 just lost my Mouseman Dual Optical
Post by: Scipio on December 30, 2009, 10:34:23 PM
No matter what USB port I try, it can't detect it.

Fuck that, all my USB ports aren't working.  Fuck.

I'm no help, but curious does it mean it's a Win7 problem or hardware failure ?

Hardware failure was my thought as well, much as I'd like to blame windows...

I would be especially pissed if it were hardware failure.  Everything appears to check out right.

I've done a system restore, and the problem persists.

I'm gonna backup my puter, wipe the badboy, and reinstall everything.

Fucking Microsoft backup won't backup to any Dvd or CD that I have, despite the fact that it's supposed to.  POS.

It is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

Fuck you, you drooling troglodyte.

BTW, should anyone else encounter this problem, it seems to be caused by BIOS issues.  I reset my BIOS, and everything is fine.

I did continue with a clean Win 7 install, anyway.

Anyway, good to know you figured something out as I had a similar problem with my USB Hub on Vista... I haven't fucked with it since (and it's currently disconnected) but I was gonna try it out again when I eventually upgrade to Win 7.
