Mouse issues

slayerzer0 · 04-22-2008, 11:03 AM

Hey
I have a really frustrating problem..
basically my mouse will randomly cut out for periods of upto 10 seconds, and sometimes not come back on at all - requiring me to re plug it in.
Its a USB mouse so i tryed every different usb port on my comp but same problem occures, i also tryed a USB to PS/2 connector but it still had the same problem.
After this i thought, well its got to be the actual mouse then, and tryed several other mice on my computer - all getting the same problem.
After re-installing mobo drivers, USB drivers, USB mouse drivers all to no avail, i decided to just format and see if that worked.
It didnt.
So now ive got a fresh install of XP and my mouse is still having the same problem - regardless of wether i use the USB or PS/2 port, and regardless of which mouse i use.
I do notice that the cut-outs are more frequent when im doing something like running a full screen app such as a game - and if theres more stuff happening on screen it will out more frequently.

I assume this is some kind of hardware issue to do with my mobo or power supply but i really dont know - so any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Slayer

Yeh i get the tracking thing sometimes too.

Its really irritating me now as im sure its a PC problem and not my mouse - wish it was my mouse :( id just get a new one lol
but i dont want to spend loads replacing mobo, power supply, ram one by one till it fixes it D:

Anyone got any ideas what cud be causing this for us?

everyone Turn off your comps...blow into the ports of your mice

Next if that dont work, if u have a USB to Serial converter...try that. If your Mouse is not a USB mouse, skip this option.
*For those using USB mice, I need to know if your having problems with other USB items.

I await everyones replies.

i did try blowing into some of the USB ports on my comp and my mouse - but this problem happens regardless of what usb port i use or if i use a usb to ps/2 converter.
Ill test some other USB devices and see if they cut out / reconnect

in the device manager click on view at the top and in the dropdown
show hidden devices
then uninstall all listed usb items
turn the computer off
unplug usb plugs
reboot twice
replug in the usb plugs
