    Hey everyone,

    I have an Acer Aspire 5672. It has some sort of wireless receiver on the front of it. I was wondering if i could use that receiver for my Microsoft wireless 3000 mouse instead of the usb receiver that it came with. Can this be done and if so...how? Thanks.

    The front receiver, i believe, is an infrared receiver. It's mainly used for media remote controls and it won't work with your wireless mouse.
