I appreciate the fact that you went through the trouble to create a helpful tutorial... I downloaded the gimp and was trying to use it last night. I was attempting to lasso something and the mouse just plain stopped working... It was so weird. I tried CTRL+ALT+DEL and exiting the program... but it all failed... I able to shut it down by just using the keyboard... now, when I turned on my computer this morning I was unable to use the mouse and I don't know what to do... right now I'm using a laptop, which is a pain in the ass in my opinion.
My mouse is a wireless, eletronic laser and it's not the batteries, I checked

. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
