My mouse stops working sometimes. I have not yet been able to establish
a pattern. Just a few minutes ago I tried to wake up my computer from
the power saver sleep function and the mouse would not work. If I
reboot the computer it will still not work. If I unplug the 110V power
to the computer and then re-start it the mouse will function just fine.
  If I start the computer in "Safe Mode" the mouse will work just fine also.

I am using Windows XP Home and the mouse is a Microsoft wireless mouse.
  (I replaced the batteries in the mouse when this first started
happening about a week ago).

Any suggestions?
