Hi, welcome to the Forum.

I have had numerous problems with optical and other wireless mice and keyboards - in the end I switch back to corded.

The only way I managed to get mine working properly was to log on to Windows (using a corded mouse and keyboard) then plug in the wireless mouse in to install the necessary Drivers.

we, in the trade, call that ... nucking fackard ... as it is probably beyond RMAing, I would chuck it in the bin.

AGREED!

But in the mean time, you may want to just use a corded mouse, while waiting to see if anybody else replies with suggestions.
