plugged it in before turning on the pc etc and the left and right clicks are working, the optical red 'light' reacts by shining brighter when the mouse is moved, but the cursor on screen doesnt move. http://www.trust.com/products/produ... this is the mouse im talking about, its brand new

Optical mice require a textured surface to work correctly. Also, not reflective. That is why there are mouse pads.
