Is your mouse connected directly to your computer or do you have a

that could possibly be interfering with the connection to your PC

from the mouse ?

A couple of alternatives before buying a new mouse.

*1 Try an old fashioned Tethered ball mouse... and one that you know
works....
*2 Clean the mouse inside (which may invovle unscrewing it)
*3 Reinstall Windows.


BTW.. For Wireless Optical Mouse designers... how about an ON/OFF
switch please to save battery life!


Surely you don't mean that. A software auto-on (immediately when
movement sensed) and auto off (after a certain period of inactivity) is
far superior.

unless it's in your briefcase!
