Mouse stopped working.

[netibiza]

I have Windows xp, and using Firefox, suddenly my cordless mouse has stopped working, I have changed the batteries and pressed the red button, but still not working. Have rebooted the system but still nothing, its a Labtech. I've tried another usb mouse and that's no good, and also another cordless mouse (NGS) and nothing! Help please.

Try a different USB port.

Oh and wait too...

It will take a couple of minutes to detect the mouse and install the drivers, don't expect it to work instantly.

I did use a different usb port but will try again.

The mouses (?) light up but will not move onscreen.

*sigh*

Told you before, they're not real mice, stop trying to stuff cheese down them!

I had a similar problem yesterday with a new cordless. I used a different USB port. This then said that the mouse was detected on the screen. I then had to synch the mouse by pressing the USB stick button and the on/off button under the mouse until the latter flashed. Then it worked.

Its Ok I've pressed another red button on something hanging out of the back of the tower and its working again, Many thanks guys x

[netibiza]

yes grasscarp, that's roughly what I had to do. Never had one before that had buttons to press!!

[netibiza]

That B00 is everywhere bl**dy where!!!!

[ChuckFickens]

Aha...

Yep, when you reconnect the mouse to the receiver you have to press the button on both of them :)

Grrr, I like plug and play, none of this high technology nonsense...........................
