-pops- Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I think there is a button on the mouse (and keyboard) and on the wireless receiver to alter the Tx/Rx frequencies. Have you tried adjusting them? I don't know the detail of how to do this but it should be in the manual for the device(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 OK guys thanks for the replies, it is now working.The way it was set up was the mouse was plugged into a USB hub this was due to my old mother board restrictions, now i have plugged the mouse into it's own USB port on the mobo as my new one has 6 ports.Once i plugged it in there on it's own it started working.But i still don't know why plugging a printer into the parallel port would make the mouse stop working.Cheers allTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwp Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 not enough power to the hub perhaps.or was it a powered hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 It is a powered hub so that is not the problem, anyhow it is working nowTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
