I've had this Logitech Mouseman Wheel for a good 3 years and mid through this year a bought a new computer. As I went to try the mouse on it i found it worked fine at the start and then a month later it ceased to work anymore. I tried it on my old computer and had no luck, that had win98se running. Right now when i plug it in it says it is an "Unknown USB device".
 
My question is : Is the mouse broken or is it just in need of drivers?
 
I am running winxp Home here on a p4 system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like it's broken. Otherwise the OS should at least identify that the unknown USB device is a mouse. Since I have the same mouse I know that even Win98SE is able to identify the Logitech Mouseman Wheel as a generic wheel mouse; no matter if it's plugged in the PS/2 or USB port. AFAIK broken PS/2 devices cannot be found by the system. But normally broken USB devices will be found due to the USB specifications.
Well, however, your Mouseman is 3 years old and so warranty-period is likely over. Seems like you need a new mouse.
