This Logitech Connection Utility is a tool which allows you to reconnect the mouse to its new receiver. It can also be used if it loses connection without SetPoint installed. If SetPoint is installed, you can access it's Connect Utility via:

Known issues if you have SetPoint installed and running this Connect Utility:

THEN THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART ...
