Mouse Pauses

[stelleg151]

I have a regular, couple of years old Microsoft Intellemouse laser mouse, the really generic one that has worked fine for me. It has started pausing every once and a while, maybe once every 10-20 minutes, and only for about a second. Also, once every hour or two it somtimes just turns off, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I am hoping it is just the mouse, but am wondering if it could also be the usb port on my mobo.

Thanks for any replies

test it out on another computer's usb port if you can.

I have that same mouse I think. 5 buttons? Its done that to me before, its usually not the mopuses fualt.

That mouse has lasted me five years so far!

I have tried other ports, same thing, and I think I have the even more generic one than you aet, but yeah they do seem to be pretty reliable, I hope mines not dying

Like ITMpls said , the easiest way to narrow it down is if you try it on another PC. It's almost definitely the mouse if it does the same on another machine.
