Mouse Device Disappear In Device Manager

[member11]

I have MS optical mouse driver installed in winxp pro sp2. Lately, I have experienced 1 weird problem.

Occasionally, my mouse device disappears in device manager for no reason EVEN THOUGH it was listed or detected in my computer a few minutes ago. I mean it wasn't listed or detected in my computer and my mouse stops working.

when i reinstall MS mouse software, everything is ok.

anybody knows why it behaves like this and how to fix this problem because this problem drives me nut.? if so, pls share.

thank you

Have you tried a new mouse? Or a manual Windows update and downoad the drivers.
