Wireless mouse

I have a case logic wireless mouse which will not work. After plugging the receiver in and pressing both buttons on the receiver and mouse all seems ok. The receiver is getting the connection from the mouse as the light flashes faster when i move the mouse yet the mouse icon (on-screen) will not move. After trying this on my computer i immediately tried it on my girlfriends laptop which is the same OS as mine and it worked perfect, so its obviously something wrong with my laptop and not the mouse. What is wrong?

Hello Jim,

Did you already install the drivers for the mouse? Sometimes right clicking the mouse, or restarting the computer afterwards helps as well.

Hi Brink.

I did actually post to my own thread to add info i should have explained but forgot, but the power went just before it went through so i will have to type it all again.

Additional info i missed.

There is no driver disk that came with the mouse. When i plug the receiver in windows looks for the driver and says it installed one and all is ok. it did the same on my gf comp and and worked but not on mine. I checked device manager and the mouse is recognized as a usb pointer device which is working fine. Yet it isnt.

Strange. You might double check the usual suspects: low battery, try a different USB port, restart the computer with it connected, right click the mouse after pressing the connect button on the mouse and receiver
