I would've posted this in Hardware, but I'm using the tab key to do everything. I reconnected it (wireless) and put new batteries.
If it was USB i'd tell you it would probably be fine if you tried resetting the mouse while unplugged and/or left it unplugged for any amount of time, then plugged it back in.yomamma said:because mine lags up whenever I do that, for about half an hour.

<- 'nuff saidyomamma said:it turns out that I turned it off, woked fine.
You put it in a wok?! Well maybe that's the problem! :tongue:yomamma said:98?! :yuck: I have XP

I know how to solve that problem...get a Mac!yomamma said:I've unplugged it and everything. I'm trying to avoit restarting the computer, because mine lags up whenever I do that, for about half an hour.
It's not the Mac's fault that you're confused. :rofl:yomamma said:Yes, but if I get a mac, I will be totally confused, and I'd have to pay a bunch of money for something I don't even like.
Yeah, but you said those are 6 years old, and even those probably don't lag up for a half hour on start up. Are those even the smoke or white colored ones, or are you still using the really ancient blue ones at school?Our school has a room full of iMacs, and everyone absolutely hates them. They used to be computers at one time...
:rofl: Okay, they're the second generation of iMacs. The first ones were all blue (blueberry actually), then they came out with the colors: blueberry, tangerine, grape, strawberry, and lime (I think that's what they called the green one). Smoke (the transparent gray) came next, then the white ones. The smoke ones are okay, even though they are getting up there in years, but the fruit-flavored ones are pretty pathetic. That was when Mac was just trying to get back in business and offered incredible educational discounts on those (I think the university I was at when those came out negotiated them for about $500 each, which was a great price at the time, especially when people were panicking about Y2K and they were being advertised as Y2K compliant, so everyone was replacing ancient computers all at once).yomamma said:Well, it's only a monitor, and the back of the monitors are transparent black, blue, and (I think) purple.
There could be several reasons why your mouse is not working. It could be due to a hardware issue, such as a faulty connection or a damaged mouse. It could also be caused by a software issue, such as outdated drivers or a conflict with other programs.
The first step in troubleshooting your mouse is to check the hardware. Make sure the mouse is properly connected to your computer and that the batteries (if applicable) are not dead. If the hardware seems fine, try updating the drivers or restarting your computer. You can also try using a different mouse to see if the issue is with the specific mouse or your computer.
If your mouse is not responding at all, try restarting your computer or checking for any software updates. You can also try unplugging and replugging the mouse or using a different USB port. If these quick fixes do not work, there may be a hardware issue and you may need to replace the mouse.
If your mouse cursor is moving in unexpected ways, it could be due to a dirty or damaged mouse sensor, a surface that is not suitable for the mouse, or a software issue. Try cleaning the mouse sensor and using a mouse pad. If the issue persists, try updating the drivers or restarting your computer.
In most cases, you can fix a non-working mouse yourself by trying the quick fixes mentioned above. However, if the issue is due to a hardware problem, it may be best to seek professional help or replace the mouse altogether.
