| 536449 | 2007-03-28 10:38:00 | I've been very pleased with my Microsoft Wireless Notebook mouse. I bought it in early January, put in a single AA battery, and haven't changed it EVER since then. It's still going strong, after on average 5-6hrs daily use. | somebody (208) | ||
| 536450 | 2007-03-28 11:37:00 | Being a wireless mouse, have you checked its battery? Speedy said this I've got one of these MS USB wired mice/mouse, |

| 536451 | 2007-03-28 21:52:00 | Sorry, Speedy also said "This is a Wheel mouse optical, according to whats written on the bottom of it". I did not realise that his had an umbilical cord and wasn't wireless so my apologies. |

| 536452 | 2007-03-28 22:11:00 | I'm on my third MS usb wired mouse. What tends to happen is one of the fine wires break where the cable enters the mouse body. This is not just confined to MS mice. I went through several mice with this problem when I had a Commodore Amiga. Trevor :) |

| 536453 | 2007-03-28 22:56:00 | From what your said Speedy it does sound like the mouse is stuffed, but just a couple of things. Yup since everything else is ok. I would say it is. How many usb devices do you have all plugged in at the sametime? I have had usb problems before, which seemed to occur only when I had several plugged in at once. It seems the mobo couldn't power all the usb devices. Its only just happened since Monday this week. The mouse has decided to turn itself off. I've got the USB printer plugged in (but the power is off), the keyboard obviously is plugged in, since I'm typing on it. The Ipod dock is plugged in most of the time (the Ipods arent always plugged in tho). And the digital cam is also USB but this isnt always plugged in either. I either plug the cam in or use the card slots on the front of the printer. It isnt wireless, so a battery etc has nothing to do with it. Also I have heard that non powered usb hubs can cause similar problems.. I dont use any hubs, all the devices are plugged directly into the USB ports. 6 ports on the back 2 on the front. Just to be sure it's the mouse I would try it on another computer and see it does the same thing. :) I tried the other mouse from the other PC on here, it didnt go off once. Well at least its not just me. I shall get another mouse this morning. Might get something else besides an MS one. |

| 536455 | 2007-03-28 23:41:00 | I actually have 10 usb ports. 4 permanent ones that are fixed to the motherboard another 2 that fits into one of the bays and plugs into the motherboard, and a USB hub with 4 on that I got from Consumer Mag which isn't plug in, as I have no need for it at the moment. :p Trevor :) |

| 536456 | 2007-03-29 00:45:00 | Hmm well mouse has been replaced, and so far so good. It hasnt turned itself off yet. So, sounds like the MS mouse was the prob. Decided to get an Acrox, wherever / whatever they are. |
