Cordless Mouse Problems

I have just bought a cordless mouse and having charged the battery for 10 hours I still cannot get it to work. It communicates with the dongle (because if I press the button on the dongle it synchronises with the mouse and flashing light which then goes steady once sync is complete) but won't do anything on the screen!
I have checked the properties and it says it is working correctly
Have re installed the software and still no luck Have tried troubleshooting to no avail.
It is this one from ebuyer
Any suggestions please

Have looked at the reviews and all the other buyers have just managed to plug and play It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission

I have a button on the dongle I press and when this flashes irregularly I then have to press a button on the bottom of the mouse. Just an idea.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4

Cordless pointers are pointless, they cost a fortune on batteries and charging and when they go out of bounds they become a pain.
Optical wheel usb is what is best IMO.0 -
