Logitech driver?! :O_o1:

I'm taking a work laptop on a business trip next week and thought it would be rather handy to bring along my VxNano mouse.

So plug it in, driver not found... I was hoping for the basic functionality to just work with XP. Just shows as a USB receiver in device manager.

So off I go to the Logitech website, download SetPoint, install and.... nothing! Tried to reinstall the device, made no difference, tried a different port, no difference. Arg!

I've never had a problem like this before, it's just a mouse :confused: Any advice? Anywhere to download a mouse driver from? It's all a bit strange...

(I ever tried the Windows search :embarrassed:)

That's weird ..I would have thought it woudl just work with XP but have you used your driver CD?

I know you probably did this but i might aswell ask.... did you have the mouse plugged in before you started it up?

Think I binned it after I didn't need it for my other 2 XP machines. All I thought it had on it was Set Point... :(

Yes and no, not the first time, but I've restarted with it in. Had a look in bios as well, no options for anything usb related.

i had a problem with a mouse and it wouldn't work in my PC.. even if i restarted. but for some reason it worked if i totally shut down the PC then turned it back on again, tried that?

Windows is shutting down...

how about this

Just turn it on and off a few times... works for my Logitech Mx518 after a lan :P

Lol, well no luck with the fix from the logitech forum, and the talk of reinstalling the OS is a bit beyond what I can do with a work laptop! Arg I'll keep it plugged in and see if it springs to life. Oh well best get on with the actual work...

Perhaps you work laptop prevents you form installing other drivers...do you have admin access?

Woop, figured it out eventually!

First step was to copy the inf directory in a different windows install somewhere and share it. Then look for the driver there. Then is would look for some sys files so you pop in a XP cd and point towards the i386 directory and hey presto: a mouse!

Thanks for everyones help and advice. I guess using the Windows CD from the logitech forum guide should have worked but no luck here. Oh well it's done. Yay :D
