Computer Help, Please

[sodamntired]

so i bought a new mouse, being that my old one died on me.

 

i plugged it in and threw away the plastic it came in.

 

the best i can figure is that there probably was an installation disc in the plastic that i needed to install.

 

now my mouse is working fine, but my video on my monitor is acting all jumpy and stuff. it sucks.

 

my guess is i should have installed something that came with it.

 

if anyone knows how i can fix this and could help me, that would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Google "GE mouse driver."

 

Your mouse shouldn't have any effect on your videocard.

i'm a computer illetirate

 

 

so...what do i do now?

[garsk]

download the drivers for the mouse you bought to your computer, run the file on your computer, restart your computer if need be. that should do it, if not, call norman.

[Azalroth]

Crusader is right, your mouse should have NO affect on your video card what so ever. Go to that site, download the drivers and you should be fine.

 

So you bought a new mouse that has a track ball? You didn't get an Optical or Laser mouse? How much did you pay for this mouse? What connector does it have? USB (Rectangle plug) or PS/2 (Round plug)

 

Goodluck

Check to see if your monitor is plugged into the computer snuggly.

im suprised it doesnt work on windows 3.1

[garsk]

are you still having trouble with it?

[sodamntired]

i am

 

probably cause i didn't download or install anything

 

 

would someone be nice enough in telling me what to download?

 

my vision is shot and i'm not up on what you young'ns like, with your hip-hop music and your mtv's.

i'm 23 and well, i get reminded every single day about having 10/20 vision. with friends like mine, i wish i had enemies.

I think Anton is onto something with it being a cable problem... there is likely a breakdown in the line need the connector that was disturbed when you installed the mouse.

Same age as me. Yep! You must've missed the computer-literacy boat or something...
