    They don't need drivers unless you are using an ancient version of Windows - the mouse works fine in Linux, for instance.

    The green LED on the USB dongle flashes quickly when it receives data fom the mouse - if this isn't happening, the mouse certainly won't work.

    It seems to get confused sometimes when using it whilst it is being charged - the green LED flashes but the mouse doesn't do anything.

    The charge light goes out after a while, and flashes intermittently.

    My laptop is sensible about supplying power to its USB ports - it does so if the power supply is connected, regardless of whether it's off, on or sleeping.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
  • Right, now it works! Shouldn't have attempted to work it out at 11pm on a Friday!
    Pity the instruction manual isn't cleared, though.
    Thanks a lot everybody.
