Problem with MS Optical Mouse
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Steve on 24 Mar 2010 09:18 Is your mouse connected directly to your computer or do you have a keyboard/mouse switchbox in between ? And/or is there anything else that could possibly be interfering with the connection to your PC from the mouse ? A couple of alternatives before buying a new mouse. *1 Try an old fashioned Tethered ball mouse... and one that you know works.... *2 Clean the mouse inside (which may invovle unscrewing it) *3 Reinstall Windows. BTW.. For Wireless Optical Mouse designers... how about an ON/OFF switch please to save battery life! Good luck! S.

A software auto-on (immediately when movement sensed) and auto off (after a certain period of inactivity) is far superior. -- choro ***** > > > > Good luck! > > > S. > > > "Bikini Browser" <delete.bikini.this.browser(a)gmail.com> wrote in > message news:ugPPS9UyKHA.4752(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Hello folks: >> >> I have a Microsoft Standard wireless Optical Mouse.

A software auto-on (immediately when movement > sensed) and auto off (after a certain period of inactivity) is far superior. I strongly agree. My Microsoft wireless mouse has a switch like the one he asks for. *Most* of the time I remember to turn it off, but now and then I forget. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup
