Doesn't really make sense that you cleaned the keyboard and it affected the mouse. maybe you accidentally pulled out the mouse or if its wireless has become disconected or no battery's left.lavidaloca wrote: »I cleaned my keyboard today and now the cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen.

The computer went into standby and when I restarted the cursor just won't move. I have tried another mouse no luck. My keyboard has a lot of symbols at the top could I have pressed something there to lock the cursor? The mouse is not a wireless one and I didn't use any liquid on the keyboard just a cloth.
Because I can't move the cursor I can't go into any programmes to troubleshoot. Lucky I have my laptop to try and find someone to help with the problem.0 -

are the keyboard and mouse ps2 (round plugs) maybe you've plugged them in incorrectly? if USb, try plugging the mouse into another usb slot and allowing windows to re-find itUtinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0
