Plug and Play mouse not installing

[Guest Liam]

I am on a laptop so I usually use the touch pad however I have started to

need to use the mouse for various things but when I plug a plug and play

mouse (Microsoft's Basic Optical Mouse) in it won't automatically work. It

then asks me to add new hardware which I click and go through, it then starts

installing files from the Windows folder but stops saying that the data is

invalid. The mouse works on other computers and even works before I start

windows (in PC angel's system recovery). I have tried updating Windows, have

done many searches on Google for people who have the same problem but nothing

works.
