In dotgale2 had this to say:
My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
The third works fine. When I say the mouse is completely dead, I
mean it won't move and I can't click anything (but the light is on
the mouse). I fixed it for now by doing a restart.
Hmm... It worked after restarting? It may have been just that the software
to assist the drivers didn't load or that the drivers are corrupted. If you
can remove the drivers then the PC will happily reinstall them for you and
you /should/ be okay.
