    plug it in and out and if that doesnt work reset computer and see what happens. if not then get a new mouse.

  • If I were you- and I have been in such a predicament, I would first check to see if the mouse is connected to the computer correctly. Next, if it is conncected properly there is a ball on the bottom of the mouse that might have to be refreshed. Carefully take apart the bottom and take out the little ball and replace it. See if this will correct and solve your problem.

  • Sometimes the ball of the mouse need to be cleaned- yes cleaned you have to take it out and clean it with alcohol. Windows does give directions on this. If you have a laser or wireless mouse make sure it is attatched or your computer recognizes the device.

    Maybe the cord going into the mouse is disconnected or come loose.. when i tripped over the mouse (stupid story) i broke the wires inside the mouse....

    if its a wireless...the bateries are probablly dead, if not check the connection of your mouse...see if its still plugged into the port on the back of your modem..maybe your mouse is just broken and you have to buy another...they are really cheap...5-10 bucks at walmart

    make sure it is plugged in to the computer and it has the ball in the bottom of the mouse.

    try cleaning it, if it is wireless: check the batteries in the mouse and reciver is pluged in, if that dosnt work: un plug mouse- re start computer - shut computer off- plug mouse back in - turn computer back on, if that dont work ....un plug mouse and deposit in garbage can.
