With luck you will have the same total non reaction that I did.
I was living life on the edge for a while this morning. My old wireless mouse had a rechargeable battery that charged up with a USB cable. It was getting to the point it needed a charge every few days. I looked into how to replace the battery and they evidently start with the battery and build around that and it is a real chore to replace. It was nothing special, so I said screw it, let the company buy me a new mouse.
The new one is very precise and works with a a USB dongle or Bluetooth. I never could get the Bluetooth to connect to the computer so I used the dongle. I have a ton of USB ports on my computer so that was no problem.
I did find a real issue. If I plug in a any USB device the new mouse stopped working, except super erratic. I had to dig the wired USB mouse from my closet to use on my computer, that is a pretty poor work around. So I started digging.
The easy things did nothing. I went ahead and upgraded the computer BIOS, which is always a bit unnerving, and that did not cure it completely. I had to uninstall the mouse and install the new latest and greatest mouse driver from the mouse manufacturer.
During the BOIS update of course the scary part is waiting for the first reboot. It came up with some of the setting set back to default so I had to play with those settings.
Golly computers are fun.
