Well you need to break the problem down. Possible problems could be a bad mouse, bad usb port, or a configuration change on your system. Since this particular mouse worked originally and I assume for the moment that you did not change any configuration items during the move I would suspect a mouse failure, possibly a crimped or broken cable. To quickly eliminate that as a possibility try that mouse on a different system and try a known working mouse on your laptop. If the mouse does work on a different system and a known working mouse does not work on your laptop then check the usb port for physical damage. If none is evident then check your log files for indications of a software or configuration error. I would suspect the mouse cable has been crimped or damaged during transport. -- Scot L.
