I have an Averatec all in one and how do you connect the wireless mouse?

Wireless mice have two parts. The mouse which needs regular battery charging and the receiver. The receiver is a USB device that plugs into any of the USB ports on the back (near the DVI port) or on the side below the audio jacks. Plugging into a USB hub is an option but can give an extra area of trouble-shooting when it fails.

If the port doesn't work, try a different one. Check that the USB ports aren't disabled for security or power-savings. Make sure the receiver is showing that it is active and that the mouse has good batteries.

One of the biggest issues can be waking from sleep with a USB device. This is changed in the advanced power savings in Windows.

I hope this helps.

(since my wired mice need to be replaced every few years, I suspect wireless mice have similar failure issues.)
