Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 with Acer/Vista

I use a Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (and the accompanying keyboard) on my Acer
Aspire 9303WSMi, on which I have Vista Home Premium, 32-bit. It has been
rather slow in responding when I move it (seems to have got worse) - I've
changed the batteries, have brand new ones in. I did a search and found this
might be something to do with interference from the monitor, which could be
altered by modifying the refresh rate on the display settings - but the
instructions give did not work (nothing came up for 'Display Settings' when
I clicked 'Display' in the Start search box). Anyone have any suggestions?

Right click on desktop, Personalize, Display settings, Advanced settings,
Monitor tab.

I doubt though this is a monitor problem. Try moving away from the screen
and see if the performance improves from a distance. You didn't state the
type of screen, if an LCD you can rule it out totally as they emit next to
no RF whereas CRT's do to varying degree.

My first action would be to check for more up to date Vista drivers for the
mouse. Also for the radio reciever i.e. is it a USB dongle type. can this be
moved to a front USB socket, turn off other raio equipment (wireless router
etc), see if that helps.

Another train of thought, did it get worse after something else was
installed, software/hardware?

Thanks for all this - I managed to get it working fine just by resetting the
buttons on the receiver and mouse itself (after making sure I had the most
up-to-date drivers). Works fine now, not slow at all.
