    I have a mini mouse that I sometimes connect to my 6324w through usb, up until today it did work fine. But today when I plug it in it'll work for a few mins then I'll hear that windows sound you hear when you plug in/plug out a new device and then the mouse laser is turned off. It also disappears from the device manager. However, if I just disconnect it and connect it again its back to normal for a few mins and then it repeats. I've tried different usb ports.

    The mouse is of the brand Canyon, the one included in this pack: http://www.canyon-tech.com/products/companions/notepacks/CN-NP1

    I've tried looking for drivers on their on their website but havent found any, think I tried contacting them about this months ago but as its worked fine with the windows drivers up until now I didnt bother.

    Running windows vista 32bit. Anyone have any ideas?

    sorry, that's not a mouse. that's some pieces of plastic barely held together. i'm surprised it lasted more than day.

    buy a real mouse.

    f'reals.

    Try another mouse and /or try your mouse in another computer.

    Some of the mice don't seem to last long.

    n0elia, didnt help.

    NotebookYoozer, lol I was aware of that when I bought it, was surprised it worked as well as it did. What seems weird though, is that it does work excellent if I just plug it in again. Made me think its a software related issue.

    Going for a bios update now...

    Anyone else having any ideas, feel free to share please. :)

    I think its an issue with your mouse, bad wires or just dead mouse overall

    Well, it may be that Vista has got confused about the mouse. I've seen this happen with XP. The problem might be covered by one of the many Vista hotfixes such as this, or you can try your luck with the Vista SP1 beta. The full list of Vista hotfixes and patches is here.

    Will try and see if I miss any windows updates later. After I had it connected to my desktop for a few hours and then connected to lappy it worked for at least a couple of hours in laptop, it was still working when I turned it off. Its like it was charged and there is no power in laptops usb or something??

    Thanks for all help this far.
