Mouse isnt working right - MS wont accept PID
Two questions, one hardware related(mouse wise).
I've got an Intelli Optical mouse, not sure what version, but at random times the laser decides to quit working and voila, no more mouse, sometimes it goes and freezes my entire computer. Here are my system specs if it will help you any: 1.8GHz P4 768mb ram Geforce FX 5600 Ultra w/newest drivers using onboard sound - Intel 850 chipset tried reinstalling chipset drivers for hoped better usb support - to no avail. Installing the IntelliPoint software was pointless as well. Also when I try to contact Microsoft directly, and it asks for the Product ID, it will not accept mine, which means I'm SOL contacting them I suppose....does anyone know a way to get a hold of them for free...I will NOT pay Bill money to talk to his employees! |

Mouse isnt working right - MS wont accept PID
Could be wrong on this since I don't have your mouse, but on mine the
LED is strictly internal... sounds like it's a power or connectivity issue *not* a software issue. For instance, does the "laser" come on when you first turn the computer on?... that's looong before the mouse drivers load. Rick Frank wrote: Two questions, one hardware related(mouse wise).

Mouse isnt working right - MS wont accept PID
This is a known problem with some models of the Intellimouse, caused by wear
at the point where the cord enters the mouse. You should telephone Microsoft's hardware support number (available either in the documentation that came with the mouse or on the hardware page on the Microsoft site) and have them check your model to see if it's one of the ones with the problem. If it is you will likely be able to get a replacement. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
