Hi aileenmac,
There re generally two buttons when using wireless devices:
Both buttons should be labelled 'Connect'.
- One on the 'base' (ie. the little box that the mouse communicates with). It may be a docking port for the mouse or it may be something that plugs into the mouse port/USB port on your PC. Sounds like you know what you're doing so you probably know what I'm talking about.
- The second button is on the mouse itself (probably the bottom)
When you remove the batteries you generally need to re-establish the connection between the mouse and it's base. You do that by pressing the
Connect button on the base and then move the mouse. If the mouse pointer doesn't move on-screen, turn the mouse over and press the Connect button on it. It shoud then connect to the base and start working.
Is there an LED on the base that indicates whether the mouse is communicating with it or not? Are the batteries defintely working?
SQL Service Manager is installed by a lot of differernt applications that use MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine). MSDE is a version of Microsoft SQL Server for workstations.Also I have noticed I have SQL Server Manager running, which I do not remember installing, should I get rid of this and if so how? There are 338 files.
Hope someone can help, thanks.
Microsoft SQL Server is a database server application by Microsoft. You can find out if you still need it or not by:
I wouldn't uninstall SQL Service Manager just in case it is being used by something. It is possible that whatever is using it has been uninstalled and left the MSDE bit behind. If you let me know the information above (ie. what the database is) we can take it from there.
- Look for the SQL Service Manager icon on the System Tray and double-click it. Look at the Service dropdown and see what's in there. Let me know what the options are.
- Go into Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs and look for something like Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (blahblah). The blahblah bit will give you a hint as to what is using the database.
- There are other ways but these are the easiest and quickest.
