If cordless type - do you need new batteries? Or again if cordless - try resetting the connection button on the receiver and the mouse / keyboard, also make sure the receiver isn't blocked by anything too dense that is a problem for the signal.

If corded keyboard...tip upside down and smack its bottom to remove toast crumbs etc and clean underside of wheel and tracking ball on mouse.

Good luck!

Hiya Star

You could try removing the battery from the laptop and putting it back again. Or maybe try reinstalling the mouse/keyboards driver.

Darn computers, eh? I recently updated my Firefox browser and it wouldn't load any pages. Luckily I sussed it was a security setting on my computer whch needed adjusting, but it drove me wild for quite a few minutes.:rolleyes:

Get a can of pressurised air and clean the keyboard - you'd be amazed how much gunk can build up under the key pads! If it is an optical mouse with cable it could be that there is a break in the cable somewhere or it could be the surface you are using it on is unsuitable.
