hello all. my old laptop has decided to work after I bought a new one. I returned the new one that I did not like anyway. But I mouse I was using with old laptop has now decided to stop working. I even moved the dongel to the other side and changed the battery. any suggestions

1:07 pm

periwinkle

how does one play babble without a mouse?

1:11 pm

hokie carla

your laptop doesn't have a trackpad thingy?

1:13 pm

hokie carla

the wireless mice aren't super expensive (well, been a while since I bought one but I think under $15 then), maybe get a new one and try that. If it's not the battery or the dongle, it's either the mouse or the USB drive you're plugging the dongle into or some kind of setting or driver changed.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

how are you doing anything on your computer without a mouse?

1:14 pm

periwinkle

I can check email

1:17 pm

periwinkle
