My mouse suddenly stopped working after an update. Mouse cursor not working in windows but works on bios. I tried two mice. Uhmm. I also tried uninstalling the drivers and performing sys restore. Help please.

Have you tied a different usb port? Also if you have or can find/borrow a ps/2 mouse hook it up and check your usb ports in windows and make sure there are no conflicts and the drivers didn't get toasted.

Finally found a fix. Turns out windows 7 is the fix. After an update windows 8 just didnt like my mouse. But I can attest that windows 8 is a lot faster and responsive than 7.
