My audio computer with a Biostar U8668D motherboard has just started
experiencing mouse problems. The motherboard has the latest
(end-of-life) BIOS. XP is updated and patched to the latest, including
SP3. In fact, the only thing that has changed has been SP3.
On an increasingly regular basis, when the mouse pointer is moved across
the screen, the computer loses communications with the Microsoft
Intellimouse Optical. The light on the mouse goes out, and the mouse is
not functional. The mouse was originally installed as a PS2, so I
connected it as a USB. It worked (even without rebooting the computer)
but it, too, eventually lost communication.
The mouse drive is version 6.2 from Microsoft. As a test, I reinstalled
the software, but doing so did not solve the problem. There are no
events in Event Viewer to suggest a reason for the problem. Because of
the age of the computer, I'm thinking that I am going to have to rebuild
it and stick with SP2. If there is some other cause to investigate,
please let me know. Thanks!
