I have a wireless mouse that worked fine until I had to reinstall everything. I did not have my software so I went to the microsoft site and downloaded the latest update for my mouse and the problem persisted. Is it a problem with a setting on my computer or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to Netgear.com. There is an issue with the drivers that came on the installation disk and SP2. On the site there is a patch and a Microsoft Compatible driver for it.\nI was having a problem with the adapter as well. It kept restarting my computer when I went to download anything or play games online.\nIt's a zip file, so download it, decompress it, open it and double click the "autorun" subfile". Install the driver, then click exit. Go to the device manager and click on network adapters, pull up Netgear WG111 properties. Click on drivers, then click on update driver. That should load the new driver.\nI hope that helps.

Its possible the embedded pointing device is conflicting with the wireless unit. \nTry uninstalling any touch pad software (or other embedded software) if you don't use it, then reinstall the pointing device software.\n\nAnother possibility is an error called double device registration.\nThis has been around since win95 and plagues us still, in essence the machine may have detected the device twice has installed controls for one driver but activated the other.\nTry booting the unit in safe mode and removing all references to mice or pointing devices in the device manager, then restart allowing windows to re detect them.  This often sorts the problem.

Try  the reset buttons.  There is one on the mouse and one on the receiver.  Press both of them and see if that helps.\n\nAlso make sure your batteries are good.

If you have a ball mouse, just go to any electronics store and buy an optical mouse. It will cost less than $20 and will be much better. If your mouse is optical (has a laser on the bottom) then it might be a defective driver. Re-install the CD that came with your mouse. Go to Control Panel, click mouse, and make sure your system recognizes scroll wheels. If all that doesn't work, you might need to replace your mouse.

If it's the "8D Scrolling Mouse Optical Trackball" or something like that (basically, it has a trackball where a scroll wheel would be), than I have the drivers for it. If it is, I'll update tomorrow with the location of it.\n\nEdit:\nIf it is the the 8D mouse the url to download the driver is: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=128319\n\nIf not, I'm sorry I couldn't help.

OK, try this. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers and other Hardware > Mouse > and then uncheck the "turn on click on". Click OK. See if that solves the problem if not you can change other settings in the 'mouse window'

Perhaps you have accidentally changed a setting.  Go to Start > Control Panel > Mouse and check the settings there.  The settings will vary from Mouse to Mouse and model to model but there should be an option somewhere that says Switch primary and secondary buttons, if that is checked, uncheck it.  But, my guess is that it has to be some setting that you changed.  If you can provide the model name and number of your particular mouse, I might be able to help more.

Optical mouse likes an even dull non-reflective colour surface. It goes willy nilly when u use it on a shiny surface.\n\nTry slowing down the response speed in the mouse configuration for Pointer Options found in the Control Panel.\n\nAlso your mouse may require specific software to be installed. Don't rely on the Windows default drivers for mouse. If your mouse come packaged with a installer CD, install that.\n\nSee if that correct the problem!\n\nAlso scan system for Viruses.

Hi,\n\nI think you are using USB Mouse and Keyboard. If yes, you must have multiple USB ports. They mostly come in pairs. This happens and I have seen in more than 50% of the cases the customer is using a USB Hub. Try removing the USB Hub from the configuration and see if it works fine or not.\n\nAlso, you could get the latest drivers for your mouse and keyboard from the vendor's website and install them. Also, try reinstalling the drivers for your modem and/or try to install the latest drivers, always. Also, make sure you have the latest Windows updates. Also, the latest Service pack should always be installed.\n\nIf you need any extra help regarding getting the drivers from internet, be my guest. Ping me with the model numbers and I would be more than happy to help you out further.\n\n\nHope this helps!\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

Did you installed all device drivers?\nIf you didn't you should do that first, including BIOS update from Dell company site.\nSecond: does only the mouse making that problem? or is it any USB device? so you can tell if it is the mouse problem or not.\nThird: Do you have any other USB devices connected to the computer at that time, there may be a conflict in the USB.\nForth: Try to use other USB port.\nFifth: Mark me as best answer if this helped you\nSixth: If all these couldn't help you I suggest reinstall Windows.\nSeventh: If it is still the same, just put your computer below one of your cars tyres, I am sure this will help.\n\nThanks

Disconnect & reconnect your mouse & keyboard, you could have knocked the connectors loose (this is almost certainly the problem if you have the sort of keyboard that you plug your mouse into rather than plugging it directly into the computer).

There is probably a driver to control that. I have a gateway, and its probably the settings thats wrong. Try going to the control panel, get to the mouse settings, and clicking on the tab that says DEVICE SETTINGS. then click settings. you should have a window full of mouse and scrolling settings. \n\nYou need to be useing Synaptics for this to work properly.

have you tried downloading a new driver i purchaced mine and it told me to upgrade and it gave me a website

check out who makes your mouse, then go to the manufacturer's website and download the driver for it (many companies have a "default" drivers that offers basic functionality for your mouse.\n\nif your mouse is made by logitech, try this out

That depends on a lot of factors. Are they a decent brand of product, for one. I'm using logitech, and have never had a problem with any product from that company. Secondly, if you installed the proper drivers, and installed them correctly. If your product was brand new or second hand, if your computer operating system has errors that aren't allowing it to recognize hardware properly, if your computer is compatible .. some older systems won't recognize newer, up to date hardware. \n\nI highly doubt it's the mouse. If you've tried 3 and it still doesn't work, then you go with the common denominator ... either the computer or the user.

Not surpised the helpdesk could not help. I doubt if anyone will be able to pinpoint the exact problem - with IT often even the experts just uninstall and reinstall in the hope it solves the problem. I imagine there is a conflict with a shared dll. I would try reinstalling your mouse as a device (so it links to all software at same time). Ensure you temporarily stop background operations running (such as Antivirus software) before you do this. Good luck.
