Microsoft Laser Mouse Locking Up

[Xen Zeratul]

Okay, i just had about enough of this. I have posted this problem on other boards and i never got a good answer.

OS: Windows ME
Computer: HP Pavilion
Disk Space Left: 10.5 Gig
Mouse: Microsoft Laser Mouse (USB)

When my pc is loading just a bit, my mouse can sometimes start freezing (or locking up) and pretty much annoys me. If it keeps doing this, it will eventualy lock up so bad that it wont move ever and require me to shut down the pc manualy (twice while browsing this forum). My mouse is to be hooked up to USB ports, and is hooked up behind my pc right now. I have tried pulling out the mouse and plugging it back in, but my pc had no mercy Many times have i played pc games and having the mouse lock up on you while you are playing it is very embarresing since you end up dead. If there is a possible solution, please tell me. This problem began ever since my "Smart" dad installed bit defender AND Norton 2004 which wrecked my pc and had to keep bit defender from starting up... (Which i fixed no thanks to him)

Try using the adapter that came with the mouse?
It will convert the usb mouse to a ps2 the normal way a mouse usesies

Well i found out the problem is the mouse itself, not the pc. So all i need to do is buy an easy microsoft mouse for 5-10 dollars and im clear!

That´s what happens with laser mouses! They always lock up when you need them .(I´m finally a 2 star member!).
