Nope not the animal kind! I moved my computer around on Sunday and the plug for the mouse fell out. When trying to plug it back in I battled a bit and then it eventually seemed to go in. But ............. it doesn't work. I tried plugging in another mouse and still no joy. :bashpc:

I am not the most computer literate person (some of us have talents in other areas Smile ).

Anyone got any suggestions? Or how do I use the computer without the mouse?

Thanks

Can be done but very tiresome !

Back to the question : It seems like you might have still got the "old" mouse ports (normally roundish and green colour plastic around it).

Replace it with a USB mouse or better - by yourself a wireless mouse - they are getting chepaer by the day and no hassles with wires and connections ok:

Tracy you will see - they still work with pins (males and females).

Going to sound like a sex class but the male pushes into the female ... this piepietjie bends ... and yes it does not connect after a time ..

Damn even I am blushing now but believe me the USB is easier :haha:

a wireless mouse is good for having when there's children in the house...I hide the mouse away so that they can't use the computer!!!
