Replacing optical mouse with different optical mouse
Yes.......the fact that you are trying to use a MS mouse with a Dell
receiver.......they run on different frequencies. You need to use the MS receiver with the MS mouse. peter -- "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others." wrote in message ups.com... I've been reading it -- there's nothing in there about getting an old mouse out of the system prior to installing the new one. It assumes the new one is the only one you are dealing with. I've also tried Microsoft "help", which has been anything but. I think one or both of the previous two posters have probably figured out what is wrong with my setup. Thanks anyway.

Replacing optical mouse with different optical mouse
I think you're right. I've tried changing the channel on the mouse but
that's not working. I think I may just need to keep using this Dell mouse unless I can get a hold of the other receiver. Thanks for all your help! David Vair wrote: Thats what the problem is. The receiver is actually what is seen as the mouse since that is connected to the computer, it just translates the signals sent to it by the actual mouse. I would see if the new mouse works with the receiver, you might get lucky and it will.It may just be a matter of getting them both on the right channel, I think there are buttons to be pushed on them to do this . If not then you need the receiver that came with the mouse in order for it to work. -- Dave Vair CNE, CNA, MCP, A+, N+ wrote in message ups.com... This might be part of the problem too -- I'm using the old receiver. I went in on this set with someone else -- the mouse came with a wireless keyboard and notebook mouse. Someone else is using the keyboard and notebook mouse for their notebook. They just gave me the mouse. I'm assuming they have the receiver too -- not sure how that works with a notebook, because I thought this notebook had an internal receiver. I'll have to see if they have the receiver still and if they are using it. David Vair wrote: Are you using the receiver that came with the new mouse? I wouldn't worry too much if it says its a Microsoft Mouse as most mice I have seen from Dell are Microsoft mice that are just painted black and a Dell logo sprayed on. -- |

Replacing optical mouse with different optical mouse
Did this -- not working. The receiver keeps reinstalling the old
mouse. -------------------------- Go to Control Panel - System - Device Manager and remove the conflicting device.. -- Mike Hall MS-MVP Windows Shell/User |
