Default 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.

Have you replaced the rechargeable batteries since purchase?

Default wireless mouse warning

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 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.

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.
