   Wireless USB mouse problem - can't contr   
   12 May 07 09:27:07   
   
   From: raykosXXX@optonline.net   
      
   I have two laptops (different brands) and two wireless USB mice   
   (different brands, one optical). Regardless of which mouse I use with   
   which computer, the pointer motion is sluggish.   
      
   If I go to Control Panel/Mouse/Properties/Motion tab, the slider is all   
   the way to the left (slow). I can left-click on the slider and drag it   
   to the right, but as soon as I release the left switch, the slider   
   returns to the left position.   
      
   If I go the the Devices tab, in the Device Information box the only item   
   in the pulldown window says "Pointing device on Unknown Port."   
      
   Both mice are basic models with the usual two switches and a scrolling   
   wheel. No fancy side switches or tilting scroll wheels. Neither came   
   with drivers.   
      
   If I use a wired USB mouse, the slider will remain in any position I put   
   it. Both laptops use XP.   
      
   Thanks for your help.
