You must be getting bored of my "problem/error" threads by now, but hopefully this will be the last one for some time :P

Anyway, the problem is that only one of my mouse's work, my optical one. I try plug any of my other ball ones and they will not work at all now :( It may not be major, but i want to try use a ball mouse again because my optical one is abit jumpy at times -_- I am 100% not sure what the problem is, and the 2 ball mouse's i tryed to use are plug and play, and they worked before i used this optical mouse.

Here are some port errors in device manager, i am not sure if they have any connection with the ball mouse failure, but they may aswell be posted:

If by jumpy you mean moves on it's own, i had a mini-mouse that did that, I went and bought a decent mouse. :)

In my opinion it's something to do with the lighting in the mouse, but what do I know :P

Not sure on those ball mice though, I haven't used one in years. Good luck on fixing it.
