Kensington Optical Mouse 72121 -- Acting like it gets plugged in then unplugged.

gophers · 11-23-2008, 10:14 AM

I am using a Kensington 72121 Optical USB Mouse. Very often it will act like the mouse is being unplugged then plugged back in (I hear the little noise when you plug in a new usb product)

Its getting sort of irritating and i would like to know if there is a way to fix it?

My computer specs are

2.8ghz dual core AMD Athlon
6 gigs of DDR800 Ram
Vista Ultimate
and a geeforce 9600 GT 512 MB RAM

This issue is fairly new, and i remember it happening in the past but i forgot exactly what i did to fix the problem.

Most likely a faulty cable .. constant flexing gradually causes damage to the wires where they flex leaving the mouse .. an old problem and why I prefer a wireless mouse .. but the disadvantage is that you then need a supply of batteries
