Trying to make mouse work on my daughter's computer, it suddenly stopped working. I do not know that much about computers and don't have the money to take it to someone to fix it. It's a pre made Vista dell. I can't make the mouse work in any of the USB ports or den slot? (not sure if that is right name), which I have an adapter so I can plug it in. That was what she has been using the past year or so with it. Any help please? TY!
