I've had the same problem with a Microsoft wireless mouse. Ended up throwing it away and getting a new one. Chances are while in storage or being carried around, something has gone wrong. Also, if you kept the batteries in it while it was not in use, that can damage the circuitry (sometimes).
As an after thought, when you started the computer, did you see a message saying it was installing a new USB device or a new pointing device or a new user interface device? If not, then the computer is not finding the antenna and without the computer recognition you'll get no response from the mouse.
If you know that the battery is good then try this next.
There is a VERY tiny shark-fin shaped spring-loaded button on the bottom of the mouse that is pressed in, when you insert the receiver, while the mouse is not in use, that turns off the mouse to save the batteries. If you haven't used the mouse in a while, it can get stuck in the in position, so that when you pull out the receiver, it doesn't spring out and turn the mouse on (indicated by the red light on the bottom). If you notice that the light isn't coming on. Just try manually pushing in the little shark-fin thing a couple times to make it spring back out. After a couple times, you should be able to get it unstuck and the red light should come on.
windows should come with drivers for it, but microsoft.com has a full suite of intellipoint drivers available for all its mice which adds functionality windows drivers don't give it. If it is not working at all the problem is most likely not driver related.
i wanna know about Microsoft
Wireless Notebook Mouse model 1023, is there any driver software need
to that mouse, please tell me sir
need a driver, mouse works but USB doesn't light up
After reading on Microsoft about replacing the batteries, down loading drivers and "press the button on the receiver and the
connect button the receiver" - I got frustrated and almost gave it flight. Then my wife stepped in
and realized that there was a green reset button on the USB connector as well.
(who knew?) SO.... you press the green light (which is a button) and release it....
should blink. Then go to THE MOUSE portion and press the connect button
for 5 seconds or so.... and wala...... One mouse that plays again! This ones gonna cost me! :) I hope this one works for ya!
I have the same problem with the 1023 MS wireless mouse. I called MS and they said that for a charge of $120 (the price of 1 yr service for my computer) they can fix the problem. I think it's cheaper to buy another (but different mfg) mouse. My computer operates quite well and don't believe I need this service.
Thanx...CPT
