Sorry for the necro, but did I miss the review of this or has it fallen by the wayside?

You're right, my mouse worked fine in my XP partition. I also tracked my problem down to Update KB938371, which it appears you didn't install. On your laptop, does the touch pad still work? Judging from the fact that your mouse isn't working on multiple systems my guess is the mouse itself is...

I've solved my problem, and for what it was worth my mobo was an Asus M2N 32-Sli Deluxe. I managed to track the problem down to Windows Update KB938371. Sadly, that update isn't uninstallable. However, with that information at hand I was able to google a work around. My solution follows: The...

For what its worth, I fixed it. I just gave up and rewired everything and it suddenly worked.

I was wondering if any of you folks knew of a good utility that would accomplish this. I've some divx videos that need to be in mp4 format for me to transfer them to other devices. Any suggestions? Thanks.
