Mouse-Related Technical Help (Somewhat Urgent)

[Trafton]

I recently lost a cordless mouse to Cordless Mice Heaven after it dropped one too many times. Temporarily, I used a borrowed mouse and now, with no notice, it seems that the person I borrowed it from needs it back. This problem seemed simple enough to solve, as I had a spare Logitech Cordless Duo mouse/keyboard. However, it seems that the mouse of the duo does not work. I have the receiver plugged into the PS/2 port with a USB-to-PS2 device. The keyboard works, but the mouse just sits there and does nothing. When I press the connect button, it looks like the receiver receives the connection, but the mouse remains unusable. The keyboard light on the receiver is lighted; the mouse light is not. I am using the default WinXP drivers. For some reason, Logitech's MouseWare driver goes very slow. I am currently in the process of using MouseWare to install the drivers, but it should really work with the default XP ones. (<b>EDIT:</b> Installed MouseWare drivers, but to no avail). I would like to return the mouse as soon as possible, and as such I would like to get this problem fixed as soon as possible. The following is my configuration, relevant or otherwise:


Pentium 4 at 3GHz
Sufficient hard drive space. ;-P
1024MB of RDRAM
ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro (128MB)
Windows XP Pro in Safe Mode


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Go buy a new mouse. I don't like the mouse-keyboard combos. They never seem to work right.

Ok, so I know nothing about mouses (Mice?), so I know that is what I would do. Yeah.

That is what I am probably going to do. However, I would still like to get this set working if possible. It is probably out of warranty since I got it for Christmas.

Try putting new batteries in it ;-)
