Mouse support during restore

Hey Guys

I purchased TI Home last week from a local Staples (V10 - I didn't know there was a V11) for a new Dell XPS410 with XP SP2. I also purchased a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse with the Dell. So far, TI has worked just fine and I've had the chance to test it in real life.

The only issue I had restoring the image (from an external HD) was that my mouse wasn't mousing - the pointer was there, but it would only move vertically on the right 2/3 portion of the screen. No horizontal motion at all; just vertically in one spot. I was able to finish the restore using the keyboard, although I was never able to restore the two smaller Fat32 and Fat16 partitions because I couldn't get the checkboxes to "check". Fortunately, the C:\ image restored perfectly and I was back up with no problems.

So what's up with the mouse on this machine? It it unable to function outside of Windows or do I need to load it's drivers somehow when the boot cd is run? It's the first wireless keyboard I've ever owned so I'm not all that familiar with the differences between it and a basic PNP USB mouse.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Best,
Allan

 

Known problem since all versions, but no bugfix.

 

I have the same problem with my Wacom USB tablet mouse. Funny thing is, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...

Did you try the "spacebar" to select the boxes once you tabbed to them?

 

using the emergency cd try this:

press F11 when the Acronis screen comes up and enter usbmouse=off

you may need to try this a few times as you must press F11 at the right time to get the screen to come up where you enter usbmouse=off.

If this works then send an email to Acronis explaining the situation and then will send you back an iso which will allw you to burn an emergency CD that works with the wireless mouse.

 

see post #4 Acronis fixed the problem for me re a logitech cordless mouse

 

Thanks everyone. It looks like I have some options.

"Did you try the "spacebar" to select the boxes once you tabbed to them?

Well, I thought I did. I'll take another look at everything. I was thinking of plugging in a regular USB mouse/keyboard and trying that too. I've always got a couple of them laying around.

Best,

I have Microsoft wireless 6000 keyboard and mouse. Booting with any boot disks including ATI emergency disk does not allow to work with any wireless system. I use wired mouse and keyboard. Bingo! No problem.

 

have you tried usbmouse=off ?
