Last night, we had a power surge. I started the computer back up and got back on HL2 DM. Everything was working fine. My Virtual Drives were still present as I was using them last night as well.
However, when I started my computer this morning, my keyboard and my mouse did not turn on. I checked all of the cables and found nothing wrong. So I restarted my computer. Sure enough, my keyboard came on... but my mouse did not.
Well, with my keyboard working, I could navigate around my computer and try to troubleshoot the mouse. When I un-plugged it and plugged it back in, a message popped up about the computer not recognizing the USB device. After that, I un-installed and re-installed the mouse to see what was going on. Once it was done, another message popped up about the optical mouse malfunctioning. It suggested I Click that message pop-up to fix the problem.
Now, seeing as how I am unable to navigate certain websites without a mouse, I was unable to visit the Logitech website to see if there was some sort of FAQ I could check. If anyone knows a way to fix this without using a mouse, please let me know. I really need a mouse today so I can transfer my homework from my computer to my thumb drive.
The mouse is a Logitech, 8 button MX510.
**Sorry that this is slovenly written, trying to get it posted before I head to town to search for a temporary replacement**
EDIT: I should have added that all of the properties of my mouse still apply. The cursor is still the same color as it was. I should also add that it has been raining all night long, if that matters at all.
