I'm using a Microsoft mouse with Intellipoint 5.1. The mouse constantly
drops to the lower left of the monitor and disappears. If I'm patient it
usually reappears upper left or right. Until I removed the software for 5.1
it usually caused the computer to freeze up solid - no access to the task
manager or anything. Reboot or even disconnection of power sometimes was
necessary.
I have worked through all the steps in the KB article 321122 with no success
whatsoever. I finally went out and bought a Logitech. However the OS
doesn't even see a PS2 mouse on boot. If I go to the device manager it knows
there's a PS2 mouse but there's something wrong with it according to the
yellow question mark and "this device cannot be installed".
It leaves me thinking Microsoft can do a lot but it doesn't seem able to
provide many of us with a dependable mouse. This is a very small but
extremely vexing problem.
Any suggestions on where to go from here?
