How to Install a Mouse After Rebooting a PC

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to install a mouse after rebooting your PC. Now, I've just rebooted my laptop here, and I'm going to install a mouse. I have one right here, and this happens to be a USB mouse. Basically, this means it has a USB connector, which is a sort of rectangular boxy connector right here. And all that I have to do to get this mouse installed is just take the USB connection, find an open USB port, which just happens to be on the side of my computer here, and just plug that mouse in. Now, I know that the mouse is connected when the laser light on the bottom of it comes on because it's getting power and it'll start to work. So now, as I move the mouse around, the mouse on my screen will move also and it'll click. Now, there's some things to take into consideration. In addition to a USB mouse, there's also types of mouse called PS2 mice, which basically have a round connector that has a bunch of pins in it. One thing that you have to keep in mind when you connect one of these mice is that the computer must be off. You can't plug it in when the computer is on because it's already initialized itself. So you have to turn your computer off, plug in your PS2 mouse, and then turn your computer back on, and your mouse should start to work. My name's Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to install a mouse after rebooting your PC."
