Computer mouse falling no control - Dell Inspiron E1505 Notebook

Strange that BOTH stopped working. Did you check batteries?
Remove USB controller for mouse and test keyboard alone,
Then replace mouse and remove keyboard USB You should use another keyboard (USB or PS2) because your computer won't start up without a keyboard.
If both fail, test them on some othrer computer, ask a friend. Might take sust seconsds to do it.
If test on other computer shows ok, you may have some problem in USB ports.
If actually neither of them work anywhare, so no way but still interesting question, how both of them went bad at same time?
Actually I 've heard many complaints of these wirelss keyboards and Mouse. Probably there are some very bad quality around.
I had a wireless mouse and worked only for about 3 months.

If the mouse has a ball, it probably needs cleaned along with the wheels inside behind the ball. Always do all maintanance with the mouse unplugged from the computer. You can see them when you take the ball out. Typicaly, you twist the cap holding the ball in and it just falls out. At this point, you can clean the ball with a mild cleaner and the wheels inside the mouse with a pencil eraser, pocket knife or a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol.

If it's an optical mouse (red or blue laser under the mouse) simply clean where the laser light is. If this does not work, then plug the mouse into another USB port. If that does not work, then restart the computer properly (not hard or soft reset). That should fix it. If not then the mouse probably is bad.
Good luck!

First of all, I am assuming you are using a current laptop with USB connectors. For a corded mouse, insert the USB plug into a USB socket. After the computer recognizes the mouse, use the computer control panel software to set up the mouse. For a USB wireless mouse, insert the dongle into a USB socket. After the computer recognizes the dongle, use the computer control panel software to set up the mouse.

which operating system xp windows vista or 7 ?

make sure you have the right mouse select in control panel
make sure you have the right mouse selected click start control panel mouse hardware you will see which mouse is selected
you might have to uninstall the mouse then restart your computer then reinstall the mouse and its drivers

I have found that the best way to adjust your mouse settings is to create a control panel in your bottom toolbar scroll to the bottom of your screen right click you will see an array of options select the toolbar option then select desktop

then you will see the desktop in the bottom toolbar select the 2 >>arrow heads then all control panel items then select mouse this is in WINDOWS 7

in XP you will have to select the new toolbar option once you have that a browse option select my computer then control panel then a control panel option will be in the bottom toolbar

for the double click this will be in the folder options follow previous to get to control panel items
click start control panel navigate folder options tick in the double click to open circle

hope this helps

Hi There,

Since you don't mention which WIndows Operating System you;re using I'll have to give you generic steps.

1. Enter the Control Panel and fund your Mouse icon and click on it to open the Mouse Properties.
2. Usually you'll find a row or two of tabs in the window that opens and usually there's one that's entitled "Devices". No matter which tab it falls under, one of them will show you options to disable or enable your touchpad.

It should be that simple.

Have a great day,

trackballs and other ball mouses have an optical sensor inside the cup that holds the ball. dirt, lint and debris that falls into the optical sensor can make the cursor jump around - the sensor detects the debris as if it were a ball movement. Clean the inside of the cup and the jumping should stop.

Cleaning the cup -- first clean the three points that hold the ball up. They tend to grap whatever dirt or grease gets onto the ball from the user's hand. Clean the rectangular sensor window with a que-tip or by blowing into it. Get any stuck debris out of the corners. Finally, turn the mouse over, without the bal inside, and tap it on a hard surface. This can knock loose any remaining debris that can fall into the sensor window.

there should be a circle ring around with arrows. Twist it so it opens. Then the ball will fall out. There are 3 places grims will build up. Get some tweezers and pull that stuff off.

You should probably get a laser mouse. I am sure amazon has them for a couple bucks.

hi!!!
check you mouse is clean if it is a mouse ball
clean the ball sensor of your mouse

or

replaced with a optical mouse

There are no games currently support mouse and keyboard. The only future release that has been announced so far that apparently does have it as an option is Unreal Tournament 3. I suspect that you won't see many games that support it though.
