Well I am sure I have solved our problem. With a little searching on Google I came across this link to microsoft downloads. It's a PDF file and is a user guide that is relevant to a number of different wireless optical mouse's from MS. So here is the link, but I have also left a copy on the "User Manual & Guides" area of this site.

If MS were to make their support pages more user friendly I might have found it. I must have spent an hour going in circles looking for this exact guide.
Oh, the answer to our problem is that the laser does not shut off, it just powers down to a standby mode. Sneak up on it when next you are going to turn your computerand you will see the laser is in dim mode.
Anyway I hope this has answered your question, as it has done for me. Cheers Garry.

I have the same problem with my Wireless Optical Mouse ver 2.0. I went to MS pages on the net, but was unable to find a solution. Short of taking the batteries out each time, I'm at a loss as to how I can fix it. Costs a small fortune in batteries every few weeks.
