I am trying to connect my new wireless mouse and keyboard. I have put the software installation in, and the keyboard is working fine, but not the mouse. Any suggestions?

Batteries in right? Is there some sort of synchronization required?

I'm sure you already tried this, but there's typically a "connect" button on the mouse. Press that button (use the end of a paper clip or something) and hold it in for about 10 seconds.

What kind of mouse? Is it compatible with your computer? Did you have a prior mouse which you might have had to uninstall first? Did it come with installation instructions and if so did you follow them exactly?

I did follow the installation instructions exactly. It is a wireless mouse with batteries, tried the conntection button, didn't work. I installed a new keyboard and mouse at the same time. No problems with the keyboard, just the mouse.

on my wireless mouse (Microsoft) -- there is one button on the bottom of the mouse, one on the receiver -- need to push one/or both to get the mouse and receiver to talk to each other.

Thanks Pete, I think I have done that, but I am a techno peasant! Is it the little button on the bottom of the mouse and which button on the receiver? There are three?

The buttons on the mouse and the charger that one needs to press on my wireless mouse (logitech) are both labeled "connect". The one on the mouse is a little white button on the bottom of the mouse (close to the wrist postion when the mouse is in use) and the one on the charger is a large silver button (the only button I can see there). I don't know if your mouse is similar, thus my question as to what kind of wireless mouse you have.
