If clicking your mouse doesn't wake it up, take it back for a new one as I did. This combo set seems to have some battery saving techniques, unlike it's predecessors. It now requires me to click my mouse to wake it up.. it then seems fine. If your's doesn't behave this way take it back. I did and this set now performs fine. I get very good battery life too.

Okay.. finally had the time to contact Microsoft. They asked I contact where I brought it from, which I did and they offered an exchange. I swapped for another Wireless 700 desktop set and viola! - Everything works per normal. Clicking the mouse now wakes it up.

While I was in device manager, I checked for an updated version of the driver.. I have the latest. On the box, it says Certified for Windows Vista.. I'm running Vista business. And it also mentions 3 bullet pointed 'awesome selling' features. They are: - Wireless freedom - 3 Button Optical Mouse - Easy Setup - No Software spacesurfer :- I checked device manager to see what options I had, very little. Thanks for the suggestion.. looks like I may have to contact customer support as suggested for this one. I will post my findings/solution to this thread.

My Mouse seems to loose sync from the receiver also, I agree, sync'ing them time after time is is very annoying. I came from a previous desktop set which worked perfectly. I only bought a new set to get a brand new keyboard, the old one got a hiding from 4 years of relentless coding.. and now I have to reset my mouse every few minutes. Im pretty sure the drivers would be compatible, if not exactly the same to what I had working for the previous set so I'm thinking it's a hardware issue.. mouse is farked. That's only my thoughts from what i've experienced so far. Geezuz.. by this point of my typing/explaining.. i had to reset it again! - ffs!!! Shouldn't we be getting a replacement mouse / desktop set? Very annoyed.
