Cannot get wireless mouse to work.....the computer recognizes it but won't work....
Connect your wireless mouse while your wired one is in the computer. Now, if there were any CDs that came with your mouse then put them in your CD reader and go through the installation process. If there were no CDs, then search online and find a driver the suits your mouse. Download it and install it.
Do not unplug your old mouse while installing the new one. You need something to use while you can't use the new one :P
Connecting a wireless mouse to your computer is a great way to reduce clutter around your workplace.
Also, it is an alternative to using your laptop's directional pad.
Wireless mice work just as well as wired mice for most computing needs.
The only detail that wireless mice lack compared to wired mice is the DPI (dots per inch) and the frequency rate, which is essential to the "fast twitch" movements in gaming.
However, most people do not need highly responsive mice; therefore, wireless mice are perfect for any other computing activity other than gaming.
Insert batteries into your mouse.
If your mouse is rechargeable, charge it in the docking station provided with the mouse.
Buy a wireless adapter that works with your mouse. If your laptop is enabled with wireless technology or Bluetooth, skip to the next step.
Install the drivers for your mouse.
Reboot the computer to apply the changes.
Power on the mouse and let the computer recognize the new hardware. If you are using a mouse that requires software to run, enable the mouse in the software that is provided to you.
Hope this helps
