| 1294886 | 2012-08-15 02:58:00 | My PC is a Compaq HP610 running 32 bit Windows 7 and MS Office 2007. All updates ae current. Recently my Logitech LaserMouse will not allow dragging. Examples In Excel I could drag the mouse over a range of numbers and the total value shows in the Taskbar. Now the mouse wiill not stay in the start cell to allow me to drag it over a highlighted range. In MS Outlook if I try to drag an email from the folder it shows in to another folder it will not allow the dragging function. I went into Device Manager and did an Internet search to see if there were any driver updates -answer No. I borrowed someone else's wireless mouse and that allows me to Drag and Drop normally. Any ideas? Neil |

| 1294889 | 2012-08-15 05:03:00 | What about changing the batteries? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1294890 | 2012-08-20 09:43:00 | Thanks people. I ended up changing batteries - partial improvement but not total. I suspect Dugimodo that you are correct re "wearing out". It is about 4 yeras old. Neil F |

| 1294891 | 2012-08-20 23:24:00 | One thing I found was that the mouse and the receiver must be in close proximty and line of sight to get a good connection. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1294892 | 2012-08-20 23:36:00 | Unless you absolutely need a wireless mouse, I wouldn't bother. Wired ones are so much more reliable, cheaper, and have no batteries to go flat. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1294893 | 2012-08-21 00:05:00 | Unless you absolutely need a wireless mouse, I wouldn't bother. Wired ones are so much more reliable, cheaper, and have no batteries to go flat. My $40 dollar logitech wireless mouse is great, if a little small. Have had it a while and still on its first battery. Equally, my fathers microsoft wireless mouse (the one that's designed to improve wrist health) is pretty good at not chewing through batteries. However, my brothers is awful. Still, I think that wireless mice are worth it. |

| 1294894 | 2012-08-21 01:17:00 | Still, I think that wireless mice are worth it. Why? Mine never leaves my desk, and I don't feel the need to operate my machine from halfway across the room. For me there is no sense to have a wireless one. |

For me anyway, I'm don't have a lot of space, and not having a cord is very useful for me. Still, they aren't for everyone. |
