help, wireless mouse not scrolling!

A

Just days to submission and my wireless mouse is suddenly not co-operating. The scrollwheel won't, eh scroll:-( Until it stopped working earlier today I didn't realise just how much I use this function. It feels like its lost its thread, if that makes sense.

Anybody know how to fix? It's a microsoft 3000.

bang it repeatedly on the desk. Put the cat near it. Buy a new one.

Tried that, although I only had the dog to hand, no cat. Of course I could put this difficulty into my conclusion chapter in the 'possible limitations' section. I'm sure my thesis would have been much better if the darn mouse had lasted the course ;-)

Mine does that sometimes but it goes back to normal when I restart the computer... you could also try it on a different computer/laptop to see if its the mouse or the connection. I know it sounds odd but I used to have a laptop where I couldn't use a mouse for whatever reason...

Failing that, Tesco sometimes have some cheap (and good ones!).
