10. Turn on Wii. Use the power button on your Wii, not your Wii Remote. If you use it from your Wii Remote, it will connect itself to the Wii instead of your computer.


11. Aim the Wii Remote at the sensor bar to make your mouse pointer move on your computer.


12. Alternatively, use the wireless sensor bar, or any source that provides two points of infrared light, such as two small candles.
