    Mouse Doesn’t Work with Laptop:

    I have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop and navigate (awkwardly) around the screen using the finger-controlled touch pad.

    But, I prefer the traditional click-controlled mouse. So I bought a Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 today. I installed the CD software successfully, rebooted, and plugged the mouse one of the laptop USB ports. Nothing happened … and the mouse shows no sign of life.

    Belated thought … can this mouse be used with a laptop like mine?

    Thanks.

    P.S. - My laptop operates under Windows XP Professional.

    Go into the control panel for the mouse and see if your mouse is the one that is displayed. Check the settings.

    You should be able to use your mouse on your laptop.
