wireless mouse warning
Vista Ultimate:
Do you know how to get rid of the annoying "wireless mouse battery level is critically low" popup? This is a ms wireless laser mouse 5000. It just started doing this about 6 weeks ago, before that it was fine. Did an update install new driver software or something? I just want to get rid of the popup, the mouse works okay. Thanks for helping. (If you are at all tempted to post about changing the batteries please reconsider, and then go away.) |

When I have the same problem I recharge my NiMH rechargeable battery in a
separate charger that fully drains the battery before it charges it so that it will come to full voltage with the recharge. When I do this the low battery alert goes away. "Paul" wrote in message ...

(If you are at all tempted to post about changing the batteries please
reconsider, and then go away.) Paul the same thing happens with standard alkaline batteries (none rechargeable). While, yes, it is easy to say change the batteries or recharge the batteries I have found that, on occasions, simply taking the batteries out and re-inserting them does the trick. I'm using the wireless laser mouse 6000 and this method has worked for me in the past, especially when I haven't had any new batteries to hand to replace them with. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

It has also been reported that that the micro switch under the battery in MS
wireless mice does not always sense that a battery is present due to a poor mechanical design so you have to be sure that a battery is physically all the down in the battery compartment.

Thank you all. I have also updated to intellimouse 6.3, and am waiting to
see what happens. -------- Original Message -------- It has also been reported that that the micro switch under the battery in MS wireless mice does not always sense that a battery is present due to a poor mechanical design so you have to be sure that a battery is physically all the down in the battery compartment.
