Re: Replacing optical mouse with different optical mouse

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

When installing a wireless optical mouse, it is really important to read and
understand the manual..

Thanks for your help. I am trying to replace my Dell optical mouse
with a Microsoft optical mouse. I have the mouse ready to go
(batteries loaded and drivers installed). I have tried over and over
to connect the new mouse to the receiver, but my computer only responds
to the old Dell mouse. But it looks like in the device manager that
there is only one mouse installed, and it looks like it is the new
Microsoft one. I don't know how to get the old one off and make my
computer recognize my new one. Seems like the big problem is that they
are both optical, and the receiver is confused (like me)?

Thanks again!
