Hi,
I have Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1 (the most basic MS mouse) and
it apears as disconnected and stop working. A second later it connect
again and works fine for a few minutes and then, the problem repeats.

Anyone knows what can be causing this? The mouse? Heat? USB voltage
problems?

I experienced this on an:
1 Mouse on: Asus A7N8X-Deluxe - Windows XP Sp1
1 Mouse on: Asus A7N8X-VM - Windows ME

Any feedback is welcome.
Many thanks
Oliver

It could be a bad USB cable. It's also recommended
to try it on a PS/2 connector. Did your mouse come
with a USB to PS/2 adapter?

Perhaps a USB 2.0 hub, or a separate USB PCI card, can make
the mouse work:

This document talks about the Nvidia chipset being unable to
handle USB 1.1 excessive jitter. A separate PCI card is suggested
as a possible solution.

Does the Device Manager have anything to say ? Are there any
exclamation marks in Device Manager, indicating a problem ?

HTH,
Paul

If it's accompanied by reconnect/disconnect sounds its probably a break in
the wire somewhere,
Waggle the wire gently starting from the mouse end and see if it happens,if
it does either cut the broken section out and resolder it together or buy a
new mouse.

Thanks Robert.
Will try opening the mouse or moving.
Also, I looked a this KB Article about Asus mobos giving the incorrect
power to USB Devices:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;234786

But since my mouse just started to fail a couple of weeks ago, I think
its the cable. (It have been working for 1 year)
