    Hi
    I'm using a Toshiba Satellite M30 Special edition
    and it's been about two weeks now.
    I've been using my mouse on the desktop for 2 years
    and I kept using it on the laptop.(it's connected by USB port)
    At first, it had no problem but
    for the last couple days, sometimes the mouse won't work
    and the computer would say that the hardware(the mouse USB)
    is unplugged, then plugged right back, but I did not do anything to it. I'm wondering whether this is the laptop's probelm or
    the mouse. suddenly the curser stopping in the middle of my work
    is really annoying.
    I even checked for viruses and I don't think i have any.
    Does anyone know why?

    I'd guess either the USB port or the USB connector on the mouse is failing. The best test would be to try another mouse for a while to see what happens.
