you didn't mention if you rebooted or not, I'd definitely do that.

My wireless mouse has a little "Connect" button on the bottom that must be held in for a few seconds if it has been disconnected for a while.

yeah mine has that as well.. the reciever piece that is put into the USB port itself also has an activation button, that normally you press after pressing the one on the mouse to make it work.. that is the part that isnt working properly..

my windows appears to atleast recognize that something is being put into the USB by making the appropriate little noise, and the reciever light blinks quickly, but then wont turn on..

ive tried to look around for any troubleshooting or manual information but havent had any luck.. its an HP 27mhz wireless mini optical mouse, i got it at radio shack. its also rechargeable, and seems to have plenty of juice

Normally the order of operation is, "First the reciever, then the transmitter." i.e. press the button on the USB stick *then* press the button on the mouse.

My model has an LED on the USB stick, the LED flashes when it's searching for the mouse, dark when it's offline and solid when it's connected.

yeah, ive tried just about every combination of of the two and neither seems to get anything going..

one more thing i have noticed is that the LED on the wheel button on the mouse flashses when that is activated, similiar to yours, perhaps its the mouse looking for the receiver.. still no LED or functionality out of the reciever though..

it must have had something to do with putting the old USB jumpdrive in there, perhaps it loaded up some old drivers or something!? im going to look into that tonight.. cant stand this keypad haha..

thanks though!

Try it on another computer. Maybe the batteries died or the thing just failed at that exact moment.
