fist i uninstalled intellipoint-the problem was still there,so i reinstalled them-the mouse stopped responding,then i turned off the fast initialiation thing from dev mngr,and when i rebooted it seemed to me as the problem was gone,but the mouse wasnt recognized correctly and i couldnt use the 4-th/5-th button in explorer
i thaught maby it could be ie 6 that was fücking it up,so i did a clean install(there was a lot of crap anyway),but the problem is still here,only now it seems to be more fond on the right mouse button
 
and this started happening about a week ago,the only things i remeber doing about that time are installing ie 6-this isnt a problem now since i went back to 5.5 sp1,and upgrading the firmware on my cdrom-could this be the problem?
 
almost forgot-the mouse is intellimouse web(yeah its not the optical one) and its on ps2 directly(no usb=>ps2 adapters),the mobo is asus p2b(latest oficial bios i think),and the os is win 2000 sp1

This is going to sound strange since we have completely different mouses.
I have a Logitech cordless optical mouseman. It was fine until 2 days ago when it started doing the same things you have described, I have changed the battery on it no avail.
It is weird but i believe it might have something to do with the non-standard mouse drivers?
which ones are you using?

OP
right now the ones that come with win 2000,and the mouse works _allmost_ normally (no 4,5 buttons) with the "fast initialisation" check-box unchecked,so you might wanna try that

I did not need it.
I used universal Microsoft OS troubleshooting tool.
I cold booted.
It works fine so far. It might also be my dect phone interfering with the KB/Mouse transceiver.
I dunno which one and frankly i don't care much until the next time there is a problem.
