I'vepurchased a bluetooth wireless laser mouse and can't figure out how to instal

The wireless dongle plugged into the computer is on a specific frequency and you wont be able to peer it with a different mouse. However if it is a Bluetooth and not wireless, you can pair another Bluetooth mouse no problem.

You have to press both left and right button and the middle.

One of three things is the problem:

1. the mouse is dirty underneath. Clean it with soap and water.

2. the surface isn't good. Try it on a piece of plain white paper or a book.

3. the mouse is defective. They do go out after a while...

Oh, also make sure the antenna for it is in direct line with the mouse and not blocked by something inbetween. It shouldn't be too far away. This is usually the problem :)

Sounds like you are missing a driver. Google the exact name of the mouse along with "Mac," and "Driver." Should be able to find what is needed that way. Be sure to check on the packaging that it isn't bizarrely incompatible with Macs, they can be difficult that way.

It depends on the wireless technology used by the mouse.

1. Infrared
If your mouse used Infrared for communicating with your PC, you will have to place an Infrared receiver on your desk, in line with the mouse you want to install. You will definitely have to install the drivers supplied with the mouse/Infrared receiver.

2. Bluetooth
If the mouse uses Bluetooth, first you either will have to install a Bluetooth dongle on your PC/Laptop (if it doesn't have Bluetooth integrated) or activate the Bluetooth on your PC/Laptop. Then, using the Bluetooth software supplied with the dongle or PC/Laptop, search for new devices and choose the mouse to pair with. You may have to install the software provided with the mouse for if to work.

Most wireless mice have a connect button on the bottom or side. Usually hitting that while moving mouse will make it found some of them have a button on the usb part as well and you have to push both of them within a few secs of each other.

Q: After pairing my mouse, the button click works but cursor tracking does not move. What can I do?A: The cursor tracking problem is because red sensor LED is not on. Please try another set of battery or fully charge battery again, and verify if bottom red LED turns on. If red LED still does not turn on, please remove batteries from mouse, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds, next press and hold the left and right buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds, followed by several clicks. Install the battery into mouse, you should see red LED turns on, mouse cursor will move.
