40066 2002-03-21 20:19:00 Hi, I have a Microsoft Intellimouse with the laser instead of a ball. Its a USB mouse but when I plug in to my computer it crashes and does other strange things. I have a PS2 adaptor which I use it on but have to plug it in and unplug it when I'm finished with the computer as the mouse stays going. Any ideas?
Thanks

Bye

40068 2002-03-22 01:51:00 I have seen this problem before where even though the PC is off the mouse red light is still on. I think it has to do with the fact that on some PC's you can assign a mouse button to turn the PC on therefore it must still have power. Nothing to worry about. Don't know about the lockups using the USB port though. Can you use any other USB devices? Guest (0)
40069 2002-03-22 10:05:00 Thanks for your replies. I don't have any other USB devices so am not sure.I think my motherboard has that feature so that could be it. As long as there's no harm in leaving it glowing.I have loaded all the drivers a few times and I guess there is a conflict although it doesnt show up in control panel.
Thanks.

40070 2002-03-22 23:33:00 does the mouse have an alternate channel button on the underside that you can press to change communication with the comp. it may work .(or it may not) Guest (0)

40073 2002-03-26 07:36:00 Try turning on Enhanced CPU in the BIOS, and setting the PCI Bus Timeout to 0, instead of 1.
This fixed my USB mouse problems which plagued me for months.

40074 2002-03-26 20:08:00 Thanks for that info. I don't have those settings in my Bios. I tries the mouse again in the USB port and it locks the computer up as soon as I open a program. I might try Gigabyte as there the MB makers
Thanks
