wireless mouse problem

[jgelein]

I have a microsoft wireless mouse that has stopped working and a synaptics pointing device has taken over. Don't know why....I want the mouse to work... but am unable to disable the synaptics device to get the mouse back. Can anyone help? I am not a tech person....just want to use the laptop in the way I want. Thanks.

Hi,
There isn't the proper way to fix it. you can disable the touch pad by following the steps given below:

• Go to Start | Control Panel
• Select Mouse Properties
• In the Mouse Properties Dialogue Box select the Hardware Tab
• Highlight the mouse device you want to disable
• Click the "Properties" button in the lower right of the dialoge box
• This opens yet another dialogue box On the General tab, you'll see a drop down box labeled "Device Usage" -- Select "Do not use this device. (disable)" and apply changes.

The mouse device will now be disabled.

check the battery in the mouse and try pressing the connect button on the mouse keeping the mouse very near to the computer.

Follow these steps -

After doing this, just reboot your system to take the necessary effect.
