if its an optical mouse, make sure there is nothing blocking the eye in the mouse. how old is it?

Wireless hardware, in my experience, is so extremely unreliable. Too much can go wrong. In your case it sounds like the signal reciever is not working. Maybe reset it a few times? Find out the procedure to sync your mouse to your signal reciever and do that a few times.

All wireless hardware I have purchases has had problems.

I bought a USB mouse for my computer ($15 at best buy) and it is EXCELLENT. Never any problems.

My best advice. Get a cheap USB mouse and never have problems again. No batteries, too.

yea there should be a "connect" button on the reciever and mouse, try that

unplug the usb connector
turn off computer
plug connector back in
turn on computer

Uninstall the drivers and reinstall. Try another USB port. I take it when you say it has a good signal I take it the computer sees the physical mouse. Does the mouse have any sort of reset button at all or way to reset the connection? Try removing the batteries from the mouse and putting them back in to almost 'reboot' the mouse.

I've tried all that except buying a new mouse, I geuss I'll go and get one tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies

I have a microsoft optical wireless mouse and havent had a single issue with it in well over a year. It only needed one set of batteries since then and people leave the damn thing on all the time! I paid 30 bucks for it but it was well worth it.

buy a new one...its just a mouse....ive had my logitech mouse and keyboard for about a year and i havnt had any problems at all with it. if u lived in alabama i would hook u up with my employee discount pricing at best buy.

Yup gonna get one tomorrow.
