DoubleTap Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've had a problem with my mouse for a while, and I thought that when I did a new clean install of XP it would be fixed along with other issues, but apparently not. The mouse intermittently drops out, or disconnects, and then almost immediately reconnects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I should think that a USB problem would have been fixed by the re-install. I think it almost has to be a hardware problem, either on the mother board or in one of the devices. If your not having problems with other devices, then it must be either the mouse or one of the other devices conflicting with the mouse. I think the first order of business has to be trying another mouse if you don't have one laying around, perhapse a friend at work might have one, alternately you might try unplugging all of the other USB devices and see if the problem goes away, then you can plug them back on at a time to find the offender. On second thought it could be a driver, but I would start my investigation with the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'd give some thought to blaming Psycho. Never trusted that guy on bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 3, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dodgy mouse, Microsoft mice (the basic ones) are liable to do this in my experience. I threw away two that were displaying identical behaviour (actually I placed a very powerful mouse trap on the floor with a bit of cheese as bait as they had frustrated me so much!
