My mouse getting power off while running windows, there by hangs computer
Boggin:
It tells you at the beginning of that tutorial you have just run through that when an USB device has been installed and then removed, Windows hides the driver, so they are an accumulation over time which could cause Windows to load the wrong driver.
However, as I have said, the problem could be hardware or interference related and no amount of fresh driver installs will resolve that.
I don't know if you are using a Desktop that you may have on all of the time or a laptop, but a cold boot can reset the ports power state, as they can enter a safe power state to protect from power surges due to USB devices and this could be the cause of the freeze.
Unless you can try another mouse to eliminate the one you are using, there's nothing more that I can advise on this.

Hi, While i could gauge the reason that a still mouse pointer amounted to absence of driver, unloading the driver for the device by the windows, (having checked that by uninstalling the mice driver from device manager, and the mouse does not work, but pointer was there), i rebooted and the mouse driver was installed automaticaly.)i could not know the sudden behaviour of this auto power off of the mouse.
I uninstalled the latest drivers for mouse from logitech, i do not know whether this is a problematic driver or not. what is synapticc device driver. Ofcourse, the technician has installed at the first instance of window installation.
Boggin:
The Synaptic device driver could be a generic pointing device driver.
Is the driver listed in Device Manager ?
Boggin:
Been having a look around and the Synaptics device driver could be for your Touchpad.
I don't have it installed on my OEM Toshiba laptop as it uses something called Flash Cards for the Touchpad drivers.
I think I vaguely remember seeing it on my computer but can't remember where it came from and I think I uninstalled it - it certainly hasn't reappeared since a factory reset last June.
Some mice auto install it so it may have come from a different mouse I was using at the time.

Hi, You mean touch bad is only available in laptop, i think. I do not know why it was installed in my desktop computer. I also uninstalled now. Now, no more errors. But what about this ELan , i enclosed in the post
