Could be it's disconnecting and reconnecting caused by a break in the cable
somewhere,happened to me once.
Wiggle the cable gently between your fingers where it goes into the mouse
and work along it.Don't damage it yourself doing this they can be pretty
thin inside.
If on winxp plug it into usb and a windows sound will play when it discons
and recons.
