Mouse doesnt entirely work, only clicks.

I have a new GE Wireless Optical Mouse, 97990 Revison 6, and it worked for a day, and this morning I went to use it and it would only click. The receiver would blink when I clicked it and if I right click it will open the menu. But the optical laser isn't on, and will not turn on. I have reconnected many times and tried all the simple solutions and still I have no results, please assist.

    I fixed it, it was my stupid copy of Win 7, so I upgraded to a different build and it works now.

Stupid question but have you tried replacing the batteries? it does honestly sound like its got power issues which are usually just that. give that a shot with some fresh batteries and re-synch the units (by pressing the button on the reciever then on the mouse).

I have #97990. The batteries are done within a half of a day, even when I switch it off
Replace the rechargeable batteries. Even rechargeable batteries only can be recharged so many times and then they will not hold a good charge.

GE Wireless "Malfunction" "Unknown Device"
Does the mouse and/or keyboard have a "connect" button on the bottom of either? Try restarting your PC, then, if you have installed new batteries, and the mouse/keyboard is still not connected, try the "Connect" button if any.

I have had this GE 97990 optical mouse for awhile now and it just stopped working. I changed batteries but nothing. Not sure exactly how to re-sync. What do I do, and what do I do if the re-sync doesn't...
You can get it working again. There is a button right here which is the connect button and the reset button. Usually if you press these two at the same time you can get it to working again

Normal 0 Turn the mouse over and find the small rest/connect button on the bottom of the mouse and press it to Reset/Connect the mouse to the receiver and work properly.
If not, try pressing the receiver button and then press the mouse. This should be done whenever you change batteries or glitch.

Mouse thinks its alive (GE wireless optical 97990 rev.4)
Could be signal interference or overloaded usb port. Move receiver around to get a more direct signal, and notice any other devices in use like phones. Use alone without other usb devices plugged in and/or buy usb hub with power adapter. DO NOT buy passive usb hub with no additional power.

New mouse, still has problems
Some mice eat batteries like they are nothing. I myself have a logitec wireless mouse and i must replace the batteries every two weeks. I would suggest getting another mouse.

Model 97990 Rev4
First, change your batteries. Next, make sure that after you push both link buttons (try to press them as close to simultaneously as you can) that you click the mouse button. Otherwise it won't actually link.
