Bing Bong, Bong Bing (mouse problem)

Bones · 17 Nov 2007 at 02:30

Hello,

I have recently started having a problem with my mouse (just happened right then) where it seems to disconnect then reconnect making the bing bong windows found new hardware sound. It first happened when i was gaming, and thats when it happens the most. It tends to happen when the computer is under load. I have tried plugging it into another USB port but it doesn't make a difference. So basically the mouse just cuts out then about a second later kicks back into life , which is a right pain! I'm completely mythed by it anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this?

its a MX510, i'll post the rest of my spec if needed.

thanks in advance

that was the first thing i tried, i wiggled the wire loads in all places and i can't cause the problem. Also i tried the mouse on another machine and everything was fine, leading me to believe its something a little more sinister :mad:

IF i were to switch it to PS/2 instead of usb would i loose some of the DPI goodness?

ok, checked the device manager and unticked the box saying "Allow windows to disable this device to save power" so fingers crossed that was the cause. Going out now so can't test, but i will post back if that was the solution.

Thanks for the help.
