USB Optical Mouse

[J Stewart]

I have a Intellimouse Optical 5-button mouse that is
giving me problems. The mouse functions a while then I
get an error balloon that says the USB device is not
recognized by Windows, at that point the mouse stops
working. I can disconnect/reconnect the mouse and all
works well, then after a few minutes the process just
starts all over again. The mouse is plugged directly
into a USB port not a hub. I have 4 USB ports and the
error occurs no matter which port I use. I have WinXP
SP1 on 2GHz/1G ram installed. If anyone can provide any
solutions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
James

all i can suggest is go to windows update and see if there are any new drivers for the mouse or go to the company website and check also. my friend has the same mouse and he ended up getting a usb to regular mouse plug adapter to allow it to work. we tried everything else. maybe someone else will have another idea. try the basics first though.

Have you tried updating drivers for the mouse?
