    Hi all, just got my R3 and when i put my mouse (tried 2 mice) it doesn't detect it?

    Yet if i put it into the left USB port it detects the mouse fine, what i don't understand is that when i plug my usb laptop cooler into the right side that works fine so it can't be a power issue?

    At a loss, any guru's out there who probably know the answer to this without thinking?

    Thanks.

    Mods can you delete this thread it appears when i ran CCleaner it deleted a reg i restored and it works fine now.

    the two right USBs are USB3 so I would check for a driver for the controller as it is not naturally recognized by windows.
    I bet you can find them on the Dell website.

    ok didn't see it was settled, have fun with your lappy!
