Wireless mouse/keyboard not connected

I recently moved my pc across the room to a new location and now the wireless mouse/keyboard will not work.

The receiver has the correct lights and I've tried changing the batteries on each item.

I can't find the dvd which came with them to reload it so I guess I have option but to buy another set and reinstall?

I do have a corded mouse but I don't have the software to go with it unfortunately.

    There's usually a button on each wireless device and the wired receiver. You probably just need to press the button on the receiver, then (within a second or two) press the button on the wireless device. That should restore the wireless link between them.
  • Thanks!

    I had been pressing the connect buttons on the receiver and mouse etc but at totally different times with long period os time between.

    Tried them concurrently and it's now working.

    Much appreciated.:T
