Try deleting the driver for it and reinstalling it again.

1. Load and install the driver in the computer first without have
anything turned on or plugged in to it.
2. Restart the computer and then start turning on everything. Make sure
everything is turned on like the access point and the mouse.

Also, try moving the access point to a better location for better
reception. Check to see if you have dead batteries or what not.

Goodl luck with it

Hmmm....if the pointer moves but the buttons don't function, I would
try and return it for a new one. Why don't you try and install it on
another computer to see if it is hardware or software related. I don't
think it should be imcompatible with SP2 because it is a Microsoft
product. Try it on another computer and post the results. Thanks
