USB and XP

[pocketyoda]

Hi all

i'm after a bit of help - my mouse (Microsoft USB with intelliEye) keeps freezing when i'm playing games online - i have to unplug it from the USB port and plug it back in again - it then works for a while before it freezes again. the mouse is pluged into a USB port on the back of my Microsoft internet pro keyboard, i don't think the keyboard is the problem as when i plug the mouse into a normal USB port i have the same problems.

any help would be appreciated.

I'd hazard a guess any say you may need better drivers for your BIOS/chipset.

Try a visit to USB Man, excellent site for all your USB needs !

My mate SUCKY !!!!, had a similar problem.

Turned out that the cable between the mouse and usb plug was damaged.

of course my computer wasnt running any XP shit, im a win2k man atm, but yeah, it was the cable that was damaged, and a new mouse solved my problem too, after i beat the shit out of my old one in the middle of a game of cs. and i mean, literally beat the shit out of it, bits flew everywhere
