Microsoft mouse

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

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?

Do you use all the features the software provides? If not, try and
uninstall the entire software suite and just use the basic Window's drivers,
that should help.

Intellipoint doesnt have a 5.1,it runs on 5.0 or 5.2,the 5.2 seems to have
its
problems,try downloads at microsoft,scroll to intellipoint,download and
install
the 5.0 software.

Hi Jany,
I would be very suspicious of your mouse PS/2 socket on the back of the PC.
They are very fragile and the copper contacts inside do crack and break. Is
your new Logitech mouse a USB mouse and you are using a USB to PS/2 adaptor?
If so plug it into a USB port. If your mouse has a PS/2 connector it is
possible to get a PS/2 to USB adaptor from a computer store.
