Not working i've bought a new logitech m705 mouse but it is not working and the unifying program can not detect the device

Edited my information out. Take Larry Ng's advice.

Try to unpair and repair the mouse to it's receiver by using the Unifying Software:http://www.logitech.com/pub/controldevices/unifying/unifying250.exe

To unpair the device:
1 - Open the Unifying software
2 - On the Welcome window, click Advanced...
3 - In the left pane, select the device you wish to unpair.
4 - On the right side of the window, click Un-pair, and then click Close. This will remove your mouse or keyboard from the list of Unifying devices and it will no longer work with your computer.

To pair the device:
1 - Launch the Logitech Unifying software.
2 - At the bottom of the Welcome screen, click Next.
3 - When you see the "Restart the device..." screen, follow the on-screen instructions to turn your device off and then back on.
4 - When your device is detected, you'll see a "We have detected your..." confirmation screen. Move the mouse around to see if the cursor moves with it.
If your device connected successfully, click Yes and then Next.
5 - Click Finish to exit the Logitech Unifying Software (or Pair Another Device to pair additional devices). Your device should now be connected.

Try the mouse on a different USB port as well as on a different computer if the issue persists.
Also try to clean the mouse, without opening it, with compressed air.

You need to buy the unified mouse and the unified keyboard then you can use just one dongle i had to download the software from their site to help unify them

Look through this page and try everything it says until it works. I browsed through the troubleshooting on logitech's website for the m705.

What does the device manager say about the hardware?
It could be loss of the usb device controller. Windows XP is old and that is an indication that the hardware is old too.

this is in resonse to malware high jacker.

the OP mixed 2 wireless mice and keyboard/ mouse technologies, this will never work
1: bad batteries
2: use the drives form logitech or Microsoft only.
3: use the correct receiver, (they have 2 mixed and is dead to rights WRONG that)
4: RTM read the manual. dah"?


the mouse is 2011
the keyboard 2400 has mouse too and is 2006 made
the cure is kick the old keboard to the curb and use any wired keyboard
and then connect only the receiver from that new 2011 mouse.
it will plug and play. ok. (but is VISTA so gee, maybe not)

my guess is old 2400 mouse died
and bought the wrong mouse, that well never work with the 2400 parts ever.(mixed technology wirless)
Logitech m325

Just download and run the Logitech Unifying Software from logitech support and it will work perfectly. Just did it myself.

Try this out.

As long as both receivers have that "unifying" logo you should be able to use that.

if these updates are logitech based. may be issue with hid driver system.

1. open the device manager
2. look for the mouse section
3. right click on the logitech mouse
   
4. update driver (do not start auto updater)
   
5. select advanced/install from specific location
6. then select dont search i will choose a driver.
7. if you see more then one logitech driver choose hid-compliant device.
8. mouse should start working uninstall all logitech programs and delete all folders for logitech in the programs folder.
9. use CCleaner to get rid of any registry entries.
