I connected my wireless mouse to my USB hub as I don't have enough usb ports. I found it slow and now that I'm trying to connect it straight to the laptop, the IR receiver does not switch on. What is strange is that if the IR receiver is plugged to one of the ports on the laptop and the hub plugged in another one, then the IR receiver switches on. The wireless mouse did not come with an install disk. I tried uninstalling all the USB root hub, but the IR receiver still does not switch on if plugged straight to laptop.
How can I reinstall the mouse straight to the laptop?

Right click my computer go in the hardware tab and go into device manager and see if it is showing up there if there is a problem try right clicking and updating driver. Sometimes leaving it plugged in and restarting the computer helps windows to recognize it. You may also need to fiddle with the connect button on the mouse if it has one its usually on the bottom. Hope this is a help

unplug the hub restart the computer then plug in the mouse it should work then restart again and plug in the hub and see if the mouse is slow again if it is then you need a new hub or something connected to it is feeding power back thru the hub

is it usb 1 or 2? sometimes that can have an effect. Wireless mice are nasty and hard work to use. Buy a wired one for your laptop and use the wireless one on a desktop!
