Okay, I inherited a Dell wireless keyboard, which I love.

Yesterday at the 2nd hand store I got an HP wireless 3 key mouse. It was only $4.00, so I am not expecting miracles. Here goes:

The mouse itself fires right up with batteries in it!

I plugged the USB receiver into the port, pressed 'connect' and a blue light started blinking on the RHS - the symbol looks like a tiny "o" with two semicircles above it. To the left, in order - a light with an arrow pointing down to it from above, a light with an "A" above it, and a light with what looks like a numeral "1" above it.

The blue light blinks for about 15 sec and shuts off.

I tried unplugging my regular mouse, but no difference.

When I installed this, my computer told me it was installed and ready to use, but I searched for a driver anyway, and found none.

The problem is likely in the receiver. Any ideas on troubleshooting this?

Could the Dell KB receiver be confusing the HP?

Thanks.
