Title: A Question for People who May Know the Answer of Said Question Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on July 07, 2006, 11:20:06 PM OK, so my PC's optical mouse just kinda randomly turns off now and then. To fix this I have to unplug the mouse from it's USB and then replug it in.
If you know how to fix this awesome, if not what I'd really like to know if this is my mouse dying or my PC dying.

My digital camera requires that I stop the device before unplugging it. Just unplugging it can supposedly damage the memory card. When I open the window to stop the camera any other USB devices connected show in the menu. I just click through the screens and then unplug the camera. A few times while quickly clicking through I've accidently turned off my external hard drive and had to unplug and replug it to start it again.

After I get back from work I'm gonna find another mouse and see if the same thing happens. This mouse is old, 2001 I think.

It sounds like the mouse, but you should make sure before you spend any money. Also, try plugging other USB devices into the USB port to see if they turn off or do anything strange.
