MS optical Intellimouse acting wierd
"shawn" wrote in message ... shawn wrote: I've got a MS Intellimouse (optical) hooked up to my PC that's been given me some weird problems. It was working fine until the last few days. Some times when moving the mouse the movement lags, other times it seems to stop for a few seconds and then starts to move, and then some times it just stops moving. When it stops moving the only fix is to reboot the machine. I've made sure I don't have any viruses. I've also terminated any other program to make sure it wasn't some kind of background program acting up. The mouse is connected to the mouse port which looks to be fine as I've put in an old MS mouse that is working fine. Any ideas as to what the problem might be, or how to fix it? Thanks for any help. Sounds like you have one of the original Intellimouse Explorers Mk1. It has a design fault, where the wire breaks internally at the top of the mouse. My one broke while still under guarantee and MS UK sent me a new Explorer Mk3.0 as a replacement. Search on the internet for many sites on how to fix it... e.g http://www.snark.com/~woody/2001/fixit/ http://www.esheep.org/guides/Microsoft/brokenMSIE.shtml http://www.xwing.net/hardware/intellifix/ HTH ss. |

Sounds like you are running out of Memory slowly over time. It is hard to
find memory leaks. "shawn" wrote in message ... shawn wrote: I've got a MS Intellimouse (optical) hooked up to my PC that's been given me some weird problems.

Mr. Paranoid here, but there seems to be a new kbd. as well as other
hardware buffer program that will track movements of a mouse. How do I know? I just recently bought a new Logitech mouse at Wal-mart (I'm cheap) that lights up when accessed or used, and the damn thing looks like a Christmas tree at times when it really shouldn't. I've had reasonable success with uninstalling it in device manager, then re-booting which would eliminate software conficts if that is your problem. Take it easy.
