Hi, What you could do is do a system restore.

In Windows XP go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore.

With Windows Vista go to the vista start buttonI have a new wireless mouse with usb plug in and - 4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33.png and search for System Restore in the search box.

If that does not work then the wireless USB mouse has changed your screen resolution.

Windows XP: Right click on your desktop, go to Properties, then go to the settings tab and change your screen resolution.

Vista: Click the vista start button4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33.png then go to Control Panel. Then click Appearance and Personalization, then click Display Settings. Under Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.

I really hope this helped and please do let me know if it has sorted your problem.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help and for being so prompt, really appreciate it... Great website...."

Connect my leeds 1690 wireless mouse to my laptop

hi Shon.
Connecting a Mouse with a Wireless Receiver.
1
Plug in your mouse's receiver. The receiver should fit into one of your computer's USB ports. You can typically find USB ports, which are thin, rectangular slots, on the sides of laptops and on the front of desktops' CPU boxes.
  • Plugging in the receiver before turning on the mouse will allow your computer to install any drivers or software needed to use the mouse.
Make sure that your mouse has batteries. To do so, you'll typically flip the mouse over and remove a tray on the bottom, though some mice instead have their batteries in a compartment in the back of the mouse.
  • If you haven't used the mouse in several months, consider replacing the batteries even if they were new when you inserted them.
  • Some mice, such as the Apple Magic Mouse 2, require charging instead of new batteries.
  • 3
    Turn on your mouse. This typically involves manipulating a button on the bottom of the mouse, though you may need to look for the On/Off switch on the side of the mouse.
    • If you can't find the On/Off button, consult your mouse's manual.
    4
    Press your mouse's "Connect" button. This button's location will vary based on your mouse's developer, but you'll usually be able to find this button either between the two mouse buttons or on the mouse's side.
    • Some mice come listed as "plug and play", meaning that you don't need to manually connect them or download any software.
    5
    Move your mouse around. Once you see the cursor begin to move on-screen, your mouse is connected.
    • If your mouse doesn't start moving, try turning it off and then back on. If applicable, you may also want to change the USB port into which the receiver is plugged.
    this link will help you out some more if you need it.

Wireless mouse won't work, have replace battery, rebooted laptop removed and replaced mouse connection etc. Was working fine until yesterday

Is it not working at all or is it moving erratically across the screen? If it doesn't seem to be working at all, turn off your mouse then unplug the receiver's USB cable from the laptop for about 5-10 seconds then plug it in to another USB port. It may detect a new device, just let it do the automatic installation if it asks. You should here a 'tada' or ding sound when it is plugged in. When installation is completed or about 10 seconds after you hear the sound, turn your mouse back on.

If it still doesn't work, try shutting down your laptop completely instead of just rebooting it.

If it still doesn't work after that, make sure you have a spare USB mouse available then uninstall the software for your wireless mouse or mouse/keyboard combo then reinstall it.

How do i connect my hp wireless mouse to the computer

The first step is to install its driver, after taht you can connect the wireless dongle into a free USB port of your computer, then put the batteries inside the mouse and turn it on, in the most of cases, the wireless dongle and mouse sinchronize automatically, if they don't, there's a small botton in both devices press it in each one to synchronize them manually.

Dell Wireless Mouse - new batteries - red light flashing - mouse on screen will not move. Have re-booted several times to try and clear problem with no results. Mouse on screen frozen

There should be a wireless receiver to plug into your USB port. THis has an LED on it which will flash when it receives data from the mouse. If the LED is not flashing then it is not receiving. There may be a button on the mouse to reset or change the transmission channel. Try unplugging the USB receiver and plugging it into a different USB port.

My mouse cursor will not move on the screen when I try to use my new wireless mouse. The light comes on on the bottom of the mouse and the USB is plugged into the computer. The USB blinks red when plugged...

Hello, hope this isn't a silly suggestion, but have you pressed the 'connect' buttons on the mouse and receiver so that the 2 devices can synchronize?

How to turn keyboard and mouse on

make sure there is new batteries in both the mouse and keyboard. Also the wireless receiever that connects to the computer is responding as well.

After you get new batteries put in and also have the receiever plugged in. press the caps lock, num lock keys and see if they light up on the receiver. If they light up then things are working, if they don't then bring up the notepad and see if any of the keys show up in notepad when you type and also see if the cursor on the screen moves for your mouse.

Hopefully both of them will work once you change batteries. If both don't work after changing batteries then you'll need to get a new wireless keyboard/mouse kit.

After accidently unplugging the mouse's usb reciever, the pointer froze on the monitor screen.

Try plugging in a standard mouse and changing the settings to it, Then re-boot. Once booted try plugging the TrackMan Wheel back in and changing the mouse settings back to it and re-boot again. Let me know what that does for ya.

try one of the method below:
Method 1: Try different ports loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); Warning If you have to change a PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. Do not plug a PS/2 device in the PS/2 port while the computer is running.

To determine whether the problem is related to the ports on the computer, use only the two cables that are included with the wireless desktop receiver, or the single cable that is included with a mouse.
USB keyboard and USB mouse loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); If the USB cable is currently connected to a USB hub, disconnect the device from the hub, and then connect it to a USB port on the computer. If your device is already connected to a USB port on the computer, try to connect the device to a different USB port if one is available.

Note Only one USB connection to the computer is required, even if your device has two USB plugs. If the problem persists, disconnect other USB devices and connect only the USB plug from the receiver to a USB port on the computer.
PS/2 devices loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); If your devices are connected to PS/2 ports on the computer, verify that you have the following configurations: • Verify that the USB plug for your mouse is connected to the green USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the mouse PS/2 port on the computer. The mouse PS/2 port on the computer may also be green. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the mouse PS/2 port, see the documentation that came with the computer. • Verify that the USB plug for the keyboard is connected to the purple USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the keyboard PS/2 port on the computer. The keyboard PS/2 port on the computer may also be purple. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the keyboard PS/2 port, see the documentation that came with the computer.If you have to change your configuration, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. If your mouse or keyboard has both USB and PS/2 connections, try using the other connection.
PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation'); Verify that the USB mouse is plugged in a USB port on the computer and that the purple keyboard PS/2 plug is connected to the purple PS/2 port on the computer. If you have to change the PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer.

Method 2: Install fresh batteries loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); Both the wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse rely on AA alkaline batteries for power. If the problem persists, install a fresh set of batteries in the device that you are experiencing problems with.
uparrow.gifBack to the top
Method 3: Resynchronize your device to the receiver loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); To resynchronize the mouse or keyboard to the receiver, follow these steps.

Note When you synchronize the mouse or the keyboard with the receiver, put the device near the receiver and put other wireless keyboards and mouse more than six feet away. 1. Press the button on the receiver, and then verify that the light on the receiver starts to blink. 2. If a dialog box appears on the screen in several seconds, follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Otherwise, go to the next step. 3. Press and release the Connect Channel button on the bottom of your mouse or keyboard. 4. Check the green light on the receiver. A steady green light means the synchronization was successful. If the problem persists, try steps 1 through 4 again.

To clean the lens of an optical or laser mouse, follow these steps: 1. Use a dry cloth to clean the bottom surface of the mouse. 2. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 3. If you see dust on the bottom of the mouse, use a can of pressurized de-ionized air to blow away the dust on the lens. 4. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 5. If the pressurized air canister is not available, blow dry air on the lenses by using your mouth one or two times. 6. Check to see whether the mouse functions correctly. 7. If these steps do not resolve the problem, use a cotton bud to clean the lens without scratching it.

Mouse

If you replaced the batteries make sure they where "new" batteries, try pressing the sync button on the mouse first, then on the receiver.

If that fails unplug the receiver from the computer wait about 30 seconds and plug it back in, wait for windows to recognize the device again, then re-sync the two.

Wireless devices are handy, however they do add one more area of failure to your computer. I'd highly recommend going with a USB mouse unless you need the wireless range.
