Hello,

I have an optical intellimouse explorer, and on XP it is not working correctly. Whenever I plug it in to the USB it will turn on for a second, then turn back off. The light at the bottom will light up, but whenever I pick it up it will turn off. It seems like XP will detect and then undetect the mouse. I am virtually unable to use the mouse. The mouse is not the "3.0" version. I believe its an earlier version. I tried updating drivers, but that didn't seem to work.

I heard that Microsoft has a lifetime guarantee on these. Does anyone know if I can return the mouse for a replacement? I don't have the box anymore though so I'm not sure if that will work.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried using the mouse with its adapter in normal mouse port. It sounds more like a usb plug problem than the optical mouse.

Be sure that the batteries in the mouse are good. This mouse chews up batteries at a good rate. When you get it working use a sheet of white paper under the mouse to prolong battery life.
