Mouse is acting strange
This is a discussion about Mouse is acting strange in the Windows Hardware category; This is really weird. Most of the time im on the computer after a while my mouse (Intellimouse Explorer 3. 0) just shuts off on me! Then 3-4 seconds later it comes back on, sometimes it wont even come back.

Now the mouse is fairly new, I dont understand why it happens, Im thinking its may be a software issue. My monthly reformat is coming maybe that will fix it.
*edit its connected through ps2, USB does same thing
Any ideas would be lovely,

You should install the latest:
1. ALi integrated driver
2. Microsoft Intellimous driver
It should help.....

sigh, I dont know what to do, It seems so hopeless. I cant stop it!! The driver upgrades did nothing but slow my damn computer down.

Which windows you're using?
Does everything lock up or just the mouse? Is it a cordless?
OP
I am running Windows XP Home with all the ms updates. Just the mouse, it shuts off and the cursor freezes but my computer works fine.
OP
Well guys, I ended up buying a whole new mouse and wouldnt cha know, works fine. I dont understand why the mouse would do that after that short a time, o well.
Thanks for your thoughts,

it happens once and a while a bad one will slip out of QA. Best thing to do is just return it (MS is good about RMAing mice and such) and grab a new one.
I have a Logitech MX700 mouse, and this thing is great... but yeah thats kinda offtopic.
