Weird... after reading a bunch of posts here, I can see there is a lot of people having troubles with their USB Mouse and USB ports under Windows XP...

Well I am another dude with this problem...

Mouse: Intellimouse USB
BIOS: Updated to the last version
Mother: Fuc*king PC Chips M756LMRT
Video: Voodoo3
RAM: 128Mb
Mouse drivers: Intellipoint 4.01
Other USB Devices like Logitech Webcam working great.

The mouse disconects for a few seconds, and the system detects it again...this happens every 1 or 2 minutes aprox.
It seems to disconnect when the resources go low...

Could this be a voltage problem?
I'm starting to think the problem is the motherboard...

Any one could fix this problem yet?

thankx a lot,
Steve

Did you check the BIOS settings for USB enables ? Enter BIOS Setup by pressing the del key, (on many computers) shortly after turning on the power. Look thru the settings and see if the USB's are enabled. Save & Exit, then restart.

Think you mean 'elementary'.
Did you check the IRQs for conflicts ?
Checking the motherboard CMOS battery wouldn't hurt either.

Faulty mouse wire maybe? That could make it think you were plugging/unplugging it. I use the same mouse and software and different POS mobo and no problems with it.
