La première chose à faire quand votre souris arrête le fonctionnement est de vérifier la jonction de câble. Il n'y a aucun point reinstalling la souris si elle n'est pas branchée po.
La prochaine chose à essayer est de recharger le PC. J'ai écrit des instructions dessus comment recharger un PC à l'aide du clavier.
Si après vérification des câbles et remise en marche du PC, la souris ne travaille toujours pas vous devriez essayer de reinstalling la souris. Pour faire ceci que vous devez ouvrir Directeur de dispositif, qui peut être accédé du Propriétés de système zone de dialogue.
Pour ouvrir Propriétés de système la zone de dialogue maintiennent a Windows verouillez (ceux avec le logo de Windows dessus) et serrez Pause/coupure
key (on most keyboards this will be in a set of three keys to the right of the function keys).
Alternatively you can minimise all windows by holding down the Windows key and pressing D, then use the cursor key to highlight ‘My Computer’ and press the Application key to open up a menu, from this menu select ‘Properties’ using the cursor keys and press Enter.
The System Properties dialog will look something like this:

I was writing a post on how to reinstall the mouse using the keyboard when I realised that rebooting the PC using the keyboard would be a required step in the process. So I decided to dedicate a whole post to that topic. I will give a few examples of how this can be done.
Using the Start Menu
· Press a Windows key (the ones with the Windows symbol on as shown right), this will open up the Start Menu.
· Use the cursor keys (the ones with arrows on) to highlight ‘Turn off Computer’ and press Enter to select it
· A dialog box will open. Use the cursor keys to to highlight ‘Shutdown computer’, ‘Turn off’ or whatever your version of Windows says, and press Enter again.
Using the ‘three finger salute’
Hold down Ctrl and Alt, and press Delete.
Windows 2000 and XP Home Edition users will be presented with a dialog box with buttons on:
· Use the cursor keys to select the ‘Shut Down’ button and use Enter to select it.
· Select ‘Shut down’ from the list using…

Whenever you delete a file it will be sent to the Recycle Bin so that it can be restored if you change you mind (unless the file is too large for the recycle bin).
Sometimes, however, you may want to bypass the Recycle Bin and delete a file completely(ish), to do this highlight the files you wish to delete, hold down the Shift key and press Delete. As with a normal deletion you will be asked to confirm the action.
These files can still be restored by using appropriate software, as I have explained in a previous post, unless the drive they were deleted from is defragmented - even then it may be possible to restore the files, although this requires sophisticated techniques beyond the reach of most users.

When you are using Windows Explorer - the file management program that opens when you double-click on ‘My Computer’ and the like - you can move to the parent folder by clicking the back-space key.
By ‘parent folder’ I mean the folder that contains the one you are looking at. In the following image we see that the ‘parent folder’ of Adobe is Program Files.
Another way to achieve the same thing is to press the F4 key followed by the up arrow, and then Return.
Note for Vista users: using the Backspace key in Vista mimics the use in web browsers, that is, it takes you to the previous folder you looked at. To go to the parent directory using Vista, hold down Alt and press the Up cursor.
