May 04 22:26:43 <tr1fedaDON> ok well i figured out why my mouse keeps turning off
May 04 22:26:49 <tr1fedaDON> its because of this driver
May 04 22:26:54 <|Chris|> most likely
May 04 22:27:00 <|Chris|> what mouse
May 04 22:27:02 <tr1fedaDON> its called hidusb.sys
May 04 22:27:07 <tr1fedaDON> ok well listen
May 04 22:27:16 <tr1fedaDON> now the older driver works for the mouse
May 04 22:27:28 <tr1fedaDON> i try to replace the new driver
May 04 22:27:43 <tr1fedaDON> but it seems to come back every time

May 04 22:28:44 <tr1fedaDON> it installs that new driver
May 04 22:28:48 <tr1fedaDON> that doesnt work for the mouse
May 04 22:28:58 <tr1fedaDON> if i could get it to install the older preconfigured driver

May 04 22:29:52 <{WCU}Falcon> yup
May 04 22:30:04 <tr1fedaDON> soo?!?!
May 04 22:30:11 <{WCU}Falcon> the driver was good in the old one but bad in the new, and it auto reinstalls
May 04 22:30:17 <{WCU}Falcon> aaaaaand…
May 04 22:30:38 <tr1fedaDON> i replace it in the system32 folder with the old but it seems to keep coming back
May 04 22:30:39 * {WCU}Falcon tries to think of an idea
May 04 22:30:59 <{WCU}Falcon> the part about it coming back is probably the mouse’s doing…
May 04 22:31:02 <{WCU}Falcon> i think
May 04 22:31:07 <{WCU}Falcon> to double check that…
May 04 22:31:18 <{WCU}Falcon> can you get back into device manager?
May 04 22:31:34 <tr1fedaDON> yea
May 04 22:32:28 <{WCU}Falcon> k
May 04 22:32:47 <{WCU}Falcon> get in there and right click on your mouse (either one if there’s still two)
May 04 22:33:05 <tr1fedaDON> ok
May 04 22:33:26 <{WCU}Falcon> AAAAAAH
May 04 22:33:28 <{WCU}Falcon> H/O

May 04 22:34:57 <tr1fedaDON> and??
May 04 22:35:04 <{WCU}Falcon> and yes/no: is the hidusb.sys, is that listed there as being in the system32 folder?
May 04 22:35:44 <tr1fedaDON> yep
May 04 22:35:50 <{WCU}Falcon> bah, nvm
May 04 22:35:55 <tr1fedaDON> omg
May 04 22:35:57 <{WCU}Falcon> i was hoping it would be somewhere else
May 04 22:35:58 <{WCU}Falcon> lol
May 04 22:36:15 <{WCU}Falcon> if it was then i was gonna say chase it down in the other location
May 04 22:36:22 <tr1fedaDON> just tell me why after i replace it with the older driver it somehow goes back to the updated
May 04 22:36:24 * {WCU}Falcon tries wrecking his mouse
May 04 22:36:34 <{WCU}Falcon> that, i do not know
May 04 22:36:37 <tr1fedaDON> could it be because of this vista service pack?
May 04 22:36:47 <{WCU}Falcon> i hope not
May 04 22:36:48 <{WCU}Falcon> lol
May 04 22:36:57 <tr1fedaDON> why do u hope not
May 04 22:37:28 <{WCU}Falcon> coz if vista service packed it in, it’ll be near impossible to go find where it’s copying from
May 04 22:37:57 <tr1fedaDON> u know how to roll back the service pack?
May 04 22:38:59 <{WCU}Falcon> no…

May 04 22:40:00 <{WCU}Falcon> it’s not gonna be sp1
May 04 22:40:05 <{WCU}Falcon> or even vista
May 04 22:40:10 <{WCU}Falcon> that’s gonna be something else
