mouse not responding

**pcandpc** · May 12, 2006

Hello?

I am using a ps2 optical microsoft wheel

mouse via usb-to-ps2 adapter on xp.

I have used this mouse happily for over

several years already.

Recently, I am noticing that a single click

on a web link sometimes does not work.

I would have to just re-do the click.

Is my mouse aging and needs to be changed?

Thanks.

Yes, properly the dipswitch for your mouse button is a bit out of shape after years.

But before you replace it, it would be a good idea to check the mouse on another computer; it still could be software .

Click harder. I'm using probably the same mouse as you (Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical) for over 5 years now... haven't had any problems with it yet.

I use the same mouse with the same connecter. It quit working. I plugged the mouse into an USB port and all was fine with the mouse.

Hi all,

Thanks.

DL,

I guess I could just remove the usb-to-ps2

adapter and try something as you did.

However, I'm using a kvm switch where

the mouse interface is only in ps2 style.

Since this is not that big of a deal, I'll just

keep using the mouse or replace it at some

other time.
