Wireless Mouse does not work on VGN-A417M

[Sweepee]

Hello everbody,

I have just bought a A417M, but the wireless mouse that comes along the package doesn't work on it. Do you have to activate the mouse some how in Windows XP? I have already tried pushing the connect button on the backside of the mouse, but it doesn't seem to help :-s.

First press the connect button on the underside of your notebook and then the one on the mouse.

Hmm, strange. It shouldn't be a problem to connect the mouse, and I'm sure the vendor or sony can help you if it's broken.
But the mouse isn't that good ergonomicaly. Sure, it's a lot better than a touchpad, but I recommed you to use another mouse. I'm using a Logitech mx1000 and it connects to the built in laptop reciever, no extra usb-addons! Te drivers don't work so you can't assign your own commands to the buttons, just use predefined ones.
This is true for my Vaio VGN-A497 laptop at least.
