"Up" and/or "bump" don't work on Usenet. Since you are using the web
interface, you may not realize that this is really a newsgroup. You
will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use a
newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can
use Outlook Express since you already have it.

As to your question, does the same problem happen with a different
mouse? Does the original mouse misbehave on a different computer? Does
the original mouse work properly if connected to a different usb port
on the original computer?

From Device Manager, check the properties of the mouse. Make sure the power
management options are not putting it into standby. If the problem
continues, repeat steps for USB ports in Device Manager -or- change to
"always on" in the main Power Options screen.

And check on the battery in the mouse. It could be weak.

Where did the OP indicate it was wireless?
