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.

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.
