Wireless mouse not respoding

whenever any device stops working first try re-installing it as follows:
go to start -> control panel -> devices -> press on + sign to open each device.
scroll down till u reach ps/2 mouse, right click mouse and release on uninstall., switch computer off (hard reset) and back on windows will then re-install driver during boot - up.
if that doesnt work go to laptops website and download its touchpad driver (most called synaptics) and install.

No PC stated, no OS stated, (is this XP>)
i bet it wont scroll in PC paint.
the wireless mouse bad is its battery bad, read the manual>?yet?
it tells you how to replace the short lived batteries
we have posted this answer here 100s of times.
wireless mouse act up, batteries first. is the 1st reason
the 2nd reason is the HP drivers for the mouse are wrong.
the 3rd reason on laptops is you forgot to turn off the mouse pad on the said laptop (control panel, mouse,+ mouse pad off)

To access Mouse Properties, select Start - Control Panel - Hardware and Sound -Mouse.

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

Whats the Operating System on this Laptop?

Thank you for using FixYa

Yes the wireless mouse will work with the Netbook just plug in the adaptor and give it a try. That was the first thing my wife did with her Netbook was to get a wirless mouse and then I got one for my notebook. I especially like the scroll movement. Actually most generic Mouse will probably work on it too.


I hope this was useful and please comment if this was helpful to you.

what OS, XP? operating system? is it?
using only one mouse? the built in mouse pad or it and a plugin mouse at USB port? or external wireless mouse.
we cant see what you have there, nor what are are using now.

if the PC is not infected.
click control panel, the click mouse icon there, bingo change mouse actions.
or reload the HP mouse driver.

no. not scroll bar.
you are posted that your desired pointing device
is bad,dead, and the do not want the built in device working,
your unnamed MOUSE is bad. right.
ALPS tells us nothing. (is it a GP-410UB " wild guess.
is it USB mouse or PS2? what model mouse? the number.
what OS are you running, we can not guess this... and matters. big time.
there are 2 issues on notebooks, zv5000

1: SHUTTING OFF THE INTERNAL ,POINTING DEVICE(S)
do that in device manager, click unwanted device
and click (right) PICK DISABLE .
it now dead this internal, pointing device.

2nd: option to is click Mouse (CP) and then pick the internal
laptop , mouse, and find a tab there called.
what to do with 2 mice, (on mine it has , USB mouse shuts off internal mouse, not all can do this, my HP8540 you can't but the maker of the notebook pad had and upgrade from this pad, and now has this feature,)
ymmv, your mouse may vary.

2: The mouse external. what ALPS, is it USB or PS2
finding drivers for very old mice can be hard,
did you have internet connections when you plugged in this mouse? if yes, it will attempt to find a driver automatically (PnP magic)

next time say.
a wild example.
Im running Vista OS.
My glidepoint model, GP-410UB does not work right.
help.


the Control panel. 101
has a mouse icon
and a device manager icon
this is your only controls, besides REG hacks.
we can all those, all ways, but you need to tell the helpers, OS, and mouse model first. and if USB

Try removeing any external devices and reboot the unit.
Next, look at your device manager for flags..
Remove any if shown in manager.
Restart the unit.
If you still don't have control of the scroll bar, try booting into safe mode and see if you have control their.
If you still do not have control of the scroll bar, try reloading the drivers for the mouse and touch pad.
Buy any chance do you have a mouse lock or switch on the unit that may be on.
I know, on the center of my touch pad, I have a switch to engage and dis-engagae.

is everything getting power?

you may be able to fix this by going to control panel and then mouse settings
you also may want to check your driver by right clicking my computer properties hardware then device scroll down till you find your mouse thrn right click and update driver
