Im Running Windows XP, pack 2. Everything is fully upgraded via Windows
Update.

Logitech drivers is the newest available for this mouse.

And yes it is one of those cordless ones that comes with a converter to
PS2, but i have it in the USB port.

I got 2 USB ports, on one is a HUB with 4 extra ports. My configuration
was Mouse and CA-42 cable on Hub and Printer on the second port in the
computer. Concidering you

Hehe... Guess what... I suddenly realized that i did not follow the
first rule of "Howto solve problems with USB devices" - Try moving the
USB cables around. So i switched my printer to the HUB and my mouse to
the PC port and now it works perfectly.. I guess the problem is because
both mouse and CA-42 cable use virtual com ports, they conflict when on
the same port (through the HUB).

As soon as i did the switch both mouse and phone works at the same
time.
