| 85188 | 2002-10-02 03:08:00 | its really hard to say. could be you have got power saving or a screen saver to kick in when idle. are the 2 pc's networked? |

| 85189 | 2002-10-02 03:17:00 | I don't have any type of power saving, and i've disabled the screen saver (which was set to 5min anyway - it freezes after about 1min) and my 2 PC's are networked | fergie (424) | ||
| 85190 | 2002-10-02 03:46:00 | disconnect it from the network and see if the problem still occurs. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 85191 | 2002-10-02 04:06:00 | Ok, i disconnected it from my network, and left the mouse for 5 mins - still worked, (i rebooted 3 times and tryed this - and everything OK) so what do you think then? Cheers |

| 85192 | 2002-10-02 04:11:00 | if unpluging the network fixes the prob then i would say there is something wrong with the network settings. one of the networking gurus might be able to help with that. did they have all the windows patches done? there was one about mapped drives. |

| 85193 | 2002-10-02 05:03:00 | This could be caused by an IRQ, DMA, or I/O address regions conflict between the mouse and the network card this conflict can end up freezing the mouse whenever the network [card] is activated. Check the device manager for conflicts, generally a PS2 style mouse uses IRQ12 and network cards use IRQ10 Babe |

| 85194 | 2002-10-02 06:23:00 | I checked the mouse and network card in Device Manager, and none of them had any conflicts...... | fergie (424) | ||
| 85195 | 2002-10-02 06:27:00 | Ok, take Tweake advice and make sure that ALL the Win98 patches have been applied. Also someone re networking may look in on PressF1 and be able to help. Babe. |
