Logitech tells you to use their driver. If you're seeing this problem, ignore their advice and switch back to the original driver.

I have the same problem with the Logitech Mouse.. sometimes, however, it's not just windows.. but when I boot, the mouse driver says the mouse is not found. subsequently, of course, windows doesn't work either. When I shut the computer off.. it works again. It is definitely troublesome.. and my Microsoft mouse never had this problem. Is there a fix on the works?

The mouse has some active circuitry inside it which is powered by the port that it is plugged into in the back of your computer. Apparently the power supply in the mouse can latch up sometimes when the computer is powered up. I seem to recall seeing this documented somewhere in the Logitech manual. At any rate, my solution when it happens to me is to unplug my mouse from the back of my computer, count to five SLOWLY, plug the mouse back in, and reboot. Rebooting reloads the driver; I also think that you can run a program that Logitech supplies which reloads the driver without rebooting, but don't remember the details. At any rate, this usually works; if not I unplug the mouse for a longer period of time, 30 seconds to a minute, and try again. It usually only takes one or two tries, and it happens infrequently enough that it is only annoying, but not a real problem. Dan Conway dconway@hpldsla.sid.hp.com
