my external mouse(uses a cord and is laser not a ball) has started to stop working on my cp at first it was working properly but it just started failing to work today i have a Dell vista basic Inspiron.1525 (intel/celeron inside)thats everything thats on my laptop.

 

Everytime i plug in my mouse the laser comes on and off and its really frustrating my touchpad is working perfectly but now my external mouse is malfunctioning or something its either the mouse or the computer (i place my bets on the cp)
