Wireless Mouse

[dragonfly]

I can’t get my optical mouse to work on my new mini NC10 I plug in the USB antenna and it gives me an error that says USB device not recognized

Did you run the driver software first (if it came with it). It may need that to install a driver.
What mouse is it?

[dragonfly]

well I don’t have a drive to install it. I have been using Vista’s on my other laptop, it just started working on that one. Ok I guess I will have to find the driver online huh?

Or copy the drivers onto a USB stick on your other laptop 😕

Or network your Sammy with your other laptop and access the CD/DVD drive on your other laptop via the network 😕

If you can find the driver online easily and quickly then thats fine, else follow Jayne’s suggestions.
That way you will know you definately have the correct driver 🙂

hi–I just installed the microsoft driver for 3000 optical mouse for my n120, rebooted and it doesn’t work. Device manager says the mouse is enabled. Any ideas?

May be a silly question – have you pressed the connect button on the bottom of the mouse, if there is one?

Another silly question – does it have batteries in it?

[bigpappy]

batteries are fresh, signal strength strong–there is a tiny connect button which I pressed, which did nothing…..

Have you tried it in all three USB ports? Can you test the mouse on another computer?

Any lights showing on the receiver or mouse?

I am not clear which mouse version you have. Assuming you have the bluetooth mouse version try this
Go to BT icon in system tray. Right click it and start device (if not already started)
Choose Explore My Bluetooth Places
Under Tasks menu choose Search for devices in range
Look for your mouse to appear (press the connect button on mouse)
Double click to connect

If you are having problems with the MS software why not try uninstalling it as it should not be needed?

If you have the usb wireless mouse version with a dongle it is plug and pray – no driver software should be needed

As the meerkats tv advert says – simples 🙂 🙂

Oh…..breaking news…..Aleksandr’s new advert!

[bigpappy]

Tried it on all ports–no difference–the usb stick did cause a little light to turn on on the mouse (briefly)–then it turned off and did nothing….will try on another computer–probably some software incompatibility…..
