Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Low Battery Already?
Jul 13, 2012
Can't believe what you read nowadays anymore. I bought a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 to replace an ailing optical laser mouse that's on its last legs, and on the package it said that one "AA" battery would last for one entire year without replacing. What it meant was, it would have took until the next spring before it's time to replace the battery.Apparently, the mouse doesn't think like that, it appears, and when I was looking down at it, there was a red warning light indicating that the single battery had already been exhausted from use. Between surfing the web and playing some Team Fortress 2 now and then this is more than just a "mobile" mouse.
Lately I have been having an annoying problem with my wireless mouse. For some reason the pointer will lag, and be very sluggish and jumpy. I've had this mouse on this computer for about a year and I've had no problem. Out of nowhere this problem is happening. I've tried re installing drivers with no luck. I tried uninstalling intellipoint and re-installing it, but when I tried I got the BSOD, and then it completely disabled my mouse and keyboard so I had to use wired peripherals to go in to safe mode and do a system restore. Now everything is working again, except my mouse is still jumpy.
is anyone using the wired USB version of the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard 4000 with Windows 7 - 64 bit? I've downloaded the latest software/drivers for this and installed them but I still can't get the Shortcut/My Favorites keys to function correctly.These used to work fine with XP now no matter whcih of the 5 keys I press it opens the same program ( CoreFTP )I have each of them set up to open specific webpages but they don't.
I have to hardwire my connection to type this. I installed all the graphics/wireless/fingerprint drivers but I still cannot access wireless internet. I don't know what's going on. I just reformatted the PC a couple hours ago. (not factory reset, windows 7 ultimate upgrade)
i'm trying to order something from a website and the cursor want open my cart for me to look at it and finish my order. this is happening in several sites not just one.
Just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate and when i restart, my normal microsoft usb mouse works in the bios until windows starts loading all the drivers from sys32. I used gpedit to disable auto install and uninstalled all of the usb drivers also gives me a code 19. where can i just find a generic usb driver or something.
I have a Microsoft Habu mouse and although I have the most recent drivers and Software installed it just doesn't feel smooth even when not running a game.
My microsoft sidewinder mouse suddenly stopped working, it will not respond to anything. It lights up and shows the dpi counter and everything else but doesn't work on my pc or any other pc I have. The drivers I could find are installed but still no response. It shows the device but doesn't work.
When I deleted my Microsoft Mouse driver, the screensaver came back on. when I installed it, the screensaver turned off after a while. It may also be stopping me from hibernating my computer as when I click on hibernate, it blacks the screen and then locks the computer
Recently a friend of mine gave me a Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse v2.1 because mine broke and I was in need of another mouse.The first day I used it everything was ok but then Windows 7 started giving Unkown device message and errors.I can fix it but only temporary by plugging out the battery for 15 minutes after boot the pc the mouse will work but if the cable will be moved a bit,I will get unknown device message.

I was surfing on the net with my laptop when suddenly the cursor didnt move. I tried to unplug the mouse's usb and plug to an other usb gate but it still didn't work. Then i tried to plug it in my desktop computer and it worked!!! Any idea what happened to my laptop?
I just bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and it works fine when connected but it disconnects when my computer is idle. Once disconnected it is not recognized again when I start using my computer again. To get my computer to connect to it again I either have to restart or delete the drivers and reconnect the mouse. Is there a way to change the bluetooth settings so that it doesn't "sleep" after a period of time? I dont know if that is the problem but I cant think of anything else. I'm using the mouse on my desktop outlined in my system specs.
I have an ASUS K50IE laptop that i had for 2 years now. been working fine until 2 days ago.this problem has been bugging me for the last 2 days. here's why.my laptop suddenly didn't detect my battery. thought it was because my battery was dead. I searched the net on things to do before "throwing in the towel" on my battery and today i came across a blog where the instruction was to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI compliant control method battery driver. I did just that and my battery suddenly worked! well sort of. now here's where it gets all weird.every time i open my laptop i do the following:1. plug in AC to laptop.. turn on laptop.3. unplug AC.3. laptop runs on battery.4. log on to windows.5. battery icon shows up as an empty charging icon then shows the "Battery is not detected" icon again.please take note that my laptop is still ON and WORKING. so this means (MAYBE?) that my battery is working.
Im using a microsoft wireless mouse wheel to scroll through web pages on IE9 and win 7. I set its speed to the lowest possible in control panel and it works fine.
When i restart my laptop, the speed is back up to full when i scroll, but when i check in control panel >mouse settings, the speed shows that its still set to the lowest setting. I move the slider, click apply and it works again.
how i can get my mouse wheel speed to be consistent between reboots?
I have a Sony Laptop Windows 7 with 3 USB ports one in use with a TV connection and want to add a wireless mouse BUT not using the USB is this possible? if so what is model/make and sources.
I have an HP Pavilion Desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate (AMD processor). Started working this morning and my Logitech USB wireless mouse didn't work. Tried it in another computer and it worked fine. Got a message when I plugged in the dongle that said "one of the USB devices attached to this computer malfunctioned and the computer does not recognize it." I talked to both HP and Logitech. I updated the Logitech drivers (Setpoint 6.20), but that didn't help. HP wants me to do a system restore, which I am loathe to do (the last time it totally trashed my computer).
I do not understand this. I've been buying and returning 'defective' wireless devices for my media center for the last few months. I bought a logitech wireless mouse (v220) a few days ago and it works on my E6410, E6510, Thinkpad T500, NC6230, and custom amd gaming machine.However, on the machine it is intended for use on, it does not work. It seems to work fine (as far as I can tell) in windows. In media center, bridge, firefox, ect... it just doesn't work. You move the mouse, nothing happens, or it moves very spotty.
Okay so not to long ago my laptop's touch pad left click stopped working my left click but I didn't care because I used my wireless mouse for games but 1hr ago I restarted my laptop and now my left click works but my wireless mouse doesn't work so now I'm mad since I hate using the touch pad for games since it's harder and it suckswith this problem I think it's going to be a simple fix.I clicked on Devices and Printers, then I see the mouse and I click troubleshoot and it doesn't find the problem it says it's working fine. I tried the FN + F9 and it disables the touch pad and I do it again and it enables the touch pad but not the mouse does nothing the my problem.
I usually plug the receiver into a certain USB port on my laptop (HP HDX-18t, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) and the mouse works fine. After a while, from an hour to several hours, the mouse pointer will become jumpy and then become completely unresponsive. When that happens, the power light on the receiver is no longer lit. Then I have to disconnect the receiver and plug it into another USB slot. The mouse will begin to work again, but then the same failure occurs. Then I repeat this over and over, "chasing" the ports until I finally plug the receiver into the first USB port again.
I should also mention that when the failure occurs the first time, if I disconnect the receiver and then plug it back into the same slot, I get a "device not recognized" notification in the system tray. This error never occurs with other ports, only the first. Also, I can immediately connect some other USB device to the port(s) the the receiver failed on and they'll work fine.
I'm used to periodic lapses when Windows forgets that I have a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard but today's behaviour was really weird.
Fortunately I keep a wired mouse and keyboard strategically hidden just in case.
I just booted into Windows 7 and noticed on the log-on screen that the mouse was behaving erratically - would judder around the screen rather than glide.
Anyway I uninstalled it once I'd booted up and went to reinstall it. It worked but Windows asked for a restart. This had never ever happened before. It even asked for the WEI to be refreshed! I've checked and I can't see anything different driver-wise. I've gone through the motions of uninstalling/reinstalling mouse and keyboard dozens of times but never had this happen.
