243102	2004-06-09 09:11:00	My mouse quite frequently freezes, it always happens just after I hear a 'Ding-Dong' sound. Sometimes it gets reactivated after a few seconds, but other times it stays frozen. To free it up I have to pull out the mouse plug from its USB port and then plug it in again. My OS: Windows XP Home. Can someone help please. Thanks	fritz (1552)
243103	2004-06-09 09:19:00	the ding dong sound usually indicates windows recognising the presence or departure of a USB device, is the ding dong, dropping in pitch or rising (rising indicates windows detecting a new usb device, dropping indicates it detecting one being removed) if it is detecting the loss of the usb mouse, try reinstalling drivers, or check the mouse in another usb plug to make sure that a dodgy plug is not your culprit.	lagbort (5041)
