I suppose the mouse needs bluetooth. I click Start – Controlpanel, but there
is no bluetooth icon.

I have also tried to click (attempted translation from Swedish) Start –
Control panel – Add new machine ware. The list presented does not contain a
choice for a mouse.

Any ideas on how to get the mouse working?

If it says it works without drivers, then either it does not use
bluetooth, or if it does, this should be transparent, because the
receiver half of the mouse will make it appear as a normal (almost
certainly USB) mouse. (Does the Aspire One _have_ bluetooth?)

You have plugged in the receiver that came with the mouse, haven't you?
This is a small object like a thumb drive (assuming it's USB); sometimes
it's stored for convenience under or in a compartment within the mouse
itself.

Another possibility is that the mouse and the receiver need "pairing",
or similar phrase: this usually involves pressing a button on the
receiver and the mouse at the same time, or something like that. (Not
one of the main buttons - it's usually a little round or square button,
recessed underneath or something.) See the box/instructions for the
mouse.

(Finally, I assume the mouse has a good cell in it, or if it's sealed
rechargeable, has been charged. Does it light up [more] when you move
it?)

I have also tried to click (attempted translation from Swedish) Start –

It _shouldn't_ be necessary, it should autodetect a mouse.

John,
If you were keeping up with the conversation, you would have read "Ove"'s
last post (15-Feb-2010) admitting to us that the mouse is "incomplete", in that the
dongle is missing...

Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-)
