my wireless mouse is working now. I rebooted the system and its working now

Do not know what was the problem earlier.

I bought that combo today and my mouse isn't working. I will post if I find a fix. Any suggestions?

The fix is to get the mouse closer to the receiver... The manual indicates the range is from 0,2 to 1,2 meters. Ugh, don't tell me I'll have to put a powerful outdoor antenna on it ! :eek:
