USB Mouse and Vista Driver problems

[pcmanrules]

Hi there,

I have a problem with vista only that my usb mouse only works on one of the front USB ports. is there any way to force the mouse drivers to remove and reinstall?

USB ports generally are shown to the OS as a USB hub device (unless you've got two motherboard USB controllers), so it shouldn't matter (driver-wise) which port it's plugged into.

Are these other ports on the back of the PC, or on a hub or attached to the monitor, etc? Is there anything special about these USB ports vs others you've tried?

I've seen some funky things with motherboard USB controllers where only certain ones had enough juice to power things like USB mice and external USB HDD enclosures.
