What do I do if my mouse stops functioning or its
operation is slow or sluggish?
You may have connected the mouse after turning on your
system. Turn off the system and check that the mouse is
properly connected to the mouse port on the system unit.
Turn on the computer and wait for the system to boot and for
the software drivers to load.
If the system is up and running but the mouse still does not
work, reinstall the mouse driver and reboot.
If the mouse operates sluggishly, try using a new mouse pad.
The pad provides traction for moving the mouse and results
in more sensitivity and control of movement.
If the mouse still operates slowly, it might need cleaning. See
"How to Clean the Mouse" in Chapter 6 of this guide.
