Wondering if anyone can help with an annoying mouse problem!
One of the machines at work is an old Gateway P700 with 512 Mb RAM running Win XP Pro (SP2).
I have a MS Intellimouse Explorer (Optical) USB.
Every now and again, it seems to "disconnect" as if it's been unplugged from the machine. Sometimes it re-connects after about 3 secs and sometimes you have to unplug it fron the USB port and then plug it back in to get it to work.
Sometimes it will do this four or five times in quick sucsession and then not do it for a day or two.
I have a powered Belkin USB hub on one of the USB ports and the mouse connected directly to the other USB port on the machine. If I plug the mouse into the Hub the same thing happens. With both the hub and the ports it is intermittent.
System summary and mouse info below:-
