wireless mouse properties not being remembered/activated
I've just replaced my Microsoft Desktop 600 (wired) with the Microsoft Desktop 800 (wireless), the keyboard has no problems, but every time I start up the computer the mouse scroll speed is like lightning (unusably fast), and I have to go into control panel/mouse ... but I don't have to change anything*--once I've loaded that device properties window the settings kick in and the mouse begins to work normally, with one exception--sometimes (I'm not yet sure of exactly when) the wheel-click properties also don't work (e.g., I get an ineffectual 'ding' noise when trying to open a new tab in firefox with middle-click, even though the settings show it should be set for 'default behavior'). ...after a restart and control panel window it will start responding normally, bafflingly.
being both Microsoft products I'm a little surprised it's having this problem (this has been going on since I bought it a week ago ... no amount of shut downs or restarts or changing mouse properties has changed its failure to activate the properties accordingly on start-up).
any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks.
