My wireless Mouse, which was working fine with my Gateway Laptop, which has a built-in touchpad on the keyboard, stopped working. I tried installing a new wireless Microsoft mouse and I still cannot get it to connect. The touchpad still works, but i have better control with the wireless mouse. Any suggestions? I am reluctant to disable the touch pad. I have the Windows Vista operating system on the laptop. It is only 2 years old.
No need to disable the touchpad they should both work at the same time. Have you tried both the mice on another PC?. The first mouse should have the correct software already installed but you will most probably need to install software for the microsoft mouse. I hope you have tried resetting by hitting the button on the receiver then while its flashing the button on bottom of the mouse? If all this fails do have any other USB devices you can test on laptop?......good luck
PS I hope its not the batteries

Hi: I have a mocrosoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 (FCC ID C3K1056) which has just stopped controlling my cursor. While the red power light is still lite on the bottom of the mouse, I think the mouse has lost sufficient power to work properly. Is there a battery inside, and if so, how do i access the battery. thank you. Mike

My wireless mouse is a iMicro 3D optical. I am unable to get it to work with my Acer netbook. There was no CD with it. I know within reason I have to disable the touchpad, but I haven't figured that out either.
