Ohhh, and it was going so well too! I've had no problem until two minutes ago when the mouse failed again
.
Oh bother!!
Can you try the mouse or it's transmitter on another USB port?
Is it running directly from a USB port on the motherboard, or from either an internal or external USB hub? (USB can do puzzling things once a hub is brought into play)
Could it be that other USB devices are grabbing priority and leaving it shut out in the cold? (unlikely I know but the straws are getting smaller). Try unplugging all other non essential peripherals for a while.
Is there a USB card installed to add extra ports?
Is there anything else "non standard" in the entire system which could be under reasonable suspicion?
And that's about the end of my list for the moment..... (sigh)
