USB Mouse Problem
I'm having this really annoying problem that I can't seem to nail down the
cause. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder gaming mouse. Every day or two, it will stop responding completely. The cursor is still there, the mouse has power (all the lights are still on and my dpi meter still functions). My keyboard and all other usb devices are not affected. If I unplug the mouse and try to plug it back in, then all of my usb ports go dead. Only restarting Windows restores them. I've checked Device Manager, everything looks to be working properly. My drivers are up to date, even my motherboard bios is current. I don't think it's the mouse either, I bought it to replace a Logitech G5 that did the exact same thing. I am dual booting between XP pro and Vista if that makes a difference. I just can't figure this out, and all of my web searching has only found people with similar problems, but no answers. Can any of you help? Thanks in advance! |

USB Mouse Problem
I have updated my chipset now direct from Intel. The mouse software I have
is 6.2 so I will try and find the newer version. Windows Update does not find it, and the update program within the Intellipoint software isn't working either. Thank you for the swift response, we'll see if this works. |
