Does this happen in all games or just one could be a prob resolved with a patch.


worse comes to worse the mouse should have come with some sort of tech support it usually does.

actually the light going out might be a sign of a bad mouse. Maybe u got a dud.

A couple of suggestions: Try increasing the I/O voltage up a little. In the Windows device manager, click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, then on USB Universal Host Controller. Select Advanced and check "Disable USB error detection".

no joy - in device manager i dont have an advanced option ? just general,driver,resources,is no error correction checkbox\tab anywhere that i can see.

Did you try using the USB to PS/2 adapter to see if it works in the PS/2 port?

Do you have the Intellpoint software installed? Also do you have the latest USB filter driver installed? I think you can get it off the VIA site.

yeah i have intellipoint 3.2 latest v i think?

dont know nething about filter driver driver tho,ne idea wat its meant to do?

[samwichse]

I second Bsdboy, stick it in the PS/2 port for trouble free use. Any USB mouse I ever used was a lot flakier than any PS/2 one.

thnx all - am begining to give up on idea of a usb mouse http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif
tried it in PS2 and its been fine for a few hours so obv its the crummy USB support,tried the filter driver but it didnt seem to have no effect.
Looks like its gonna have to stay on
PS2 atm bah !

I'm not exactly sure what it does, but on the VIA site it just says it enables USB functions. Here is a direct download link for it. You should try it to see if it helps.

Keep it on the PS/2 port. The mouse will work great and now you have an free USB port. Nothing else works in those PS/2 ports, might as well use them.
