Mouse issues My perixx ms-2000 II mouse wont work even with the correct software downloaded from their website... please help.

Send it back under warranty and get a refund. Logitech and Microsoft are the brand leaders in Mice and are fully tested.

Because it is a no name mouse with little or no warranty. You're lucky it worked as long as it did.

try updating the mouse drivers. Go to the Verbatim manufacturer website, search your model of mouse and download the latest driver. To update drivers on windows go Control panel>device manager>mice/input device then right click your mouse and update driver software. If the mouse continues to play up even though it works on other computers then the mouse is probably incompatible with your operating system.

Even without software the mouse should work for most functions. Forget about the software for now and focus on trying to get the mouse to function. Is there an on/off or power switch on it? how about a small round button to link it with the receiver. Also look for a small round button on the receiver as well and if you find one, press it and press the one of the mouse within 30-seconds of each other.

Have you tried a different mouse? Try installing Microsoft's Intellipoint if it iis a MS mouse, otherwise try downloading software from the mouse manufacturers website

Sometimes you can configure the sensitivity of the Mouse pad from Control Panel, Go there and look for applet MOUSE, if it is hardware issue, you can visit the website of the maker of your Laptop, and go for Support Page with Drivers, specifically issued for Mouse or Touch pad or In put. Most new Computer Systems now have Online Support which can detect the Problem of your Computer. Download the Detect Software... Once you upgraded the Drivers for the Board. let us say ASUS, the Bios will fix and update your Hardware. Just be careful sometimes, this is irreversible, meaning cannot uninstall the Drivers for BIOS, or on Board Software.

Why not upgrade Office to 2003 version....?

It's better to upgrade Office version 2003 or 2007 to prevent compatibility issues

Scroll on mouse pad may not be a "default" factory setting. Go to Control Panel and access Mouse Settings and look for this feature and activate it.

If this does not work then go to Gateway Website and look for SOFTWARE AND DRIVER DOWNLOADS ., Select your model and Operating System and look for MOUSE. Select Moust Driver Download and RUN and reinstall driver.

If both do not work than your mouse pad has to be replaced due to physical issue

If you have a cell phone or cordless phone nearby it could cause interference. Otherwise reboot and try again. Also you can check for updated drivers at the manufacturers website.

Normal 0 Try disconnecting the Mouse Receiver from the USB port and reinstall the CD software program. When the program asks you to connect the Mouse Receiver to the USB port, do so and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud
