Okay, I'm running a Dell Inspiron 8400 with pentium 4 and Xp With service pack 2... Anyways, I have a wireless mouse and keyboard with this computer. Up until about 2days ago my mouse worked fine, then 2 days ago after a long amount of browsing, my mom went to use the computer, the mouse would not move and she was getting pissed, so I grab the mouse, hit the re-establish signal button on it, and it works dandy for her. Now for the past 2 days It's been taking less, and less time to lose it's signal, and by now I get maybe one click in. I checked the batteries and they're fine, and the keyboard isn't having any problems, but the mouse is still screwed. Help please...

Well... you could get a new mouse, or check the part(s) responsible for establishing connection, or check to see if some kind of signal is interfering, or check the part responsible for reciving the connection, or...

Hmm... well, odds are something has worn out or broke from misuse, so if you're broke, beg money off someone else. Or get a shortwave reciever and look for conflicting signals. Oh, wait, you're broke. Sorry.

did you try to unhooking it and then hook it in again if no do it if yes then i dont now what will work

I have a laser, but it's moot now, it was something very big though. MY ENTIRE FREAKEN REGISTRY DIED ON ME VIA COMPUTER WORM,first I get the Blue screen of death, then my mom mentions something about haveing mcaffee say that they found a worm and that it was compromising mine and my dad's profiles and that she didn't know what to do and since we weren't home to ask, she hit the trust this item button. NExt thing I know my registry is basically destroyed and all it's memory is dumped.I had to fricken buy a damn new hard drive and install windows on it so I could repair my original. I ended up rebuilding my effin' registery using hidden files and copies. I have 134GB more disc space and for some reason i'm not happy. Oh, did I forget to mention the mouse actually works.
For those of you that want to know what happened google c0000218 (registry file failure).

Whoa Dranzer....well at least you got the problem fixed.

Wooooah... That must have sucked.

Well, that goes without saying. At least after performing Dranzer's examination of the mouse, anyways.
