Re: USB mouse, dell optiplex and windows xp

Then Dell is probably right -- it's not the hardware. I would suggest that
some app you have running in the background is occasionally sucking
resources to a crawl. Or you are repeating some procedure that causes the
problem. Diagnostics are difficult if it's a background app, but a judicious
use of MSCONFIG might help you narrow down the problem. Prime suspects are
anti-virus (what brand are you using?) and background monitoring apps like
Dell's own "PC health" monitor (forget its actual name.)

I have the same problem with different hardware.

I have tried two mice. I have tried different USB ports as well as that
round port (using the adapter).

It stil happens to me several times a day!

Thanks. John

Hello,

I suspect it to be hardware as well. Try changing to another mouse and

if the problems persist.

Hello Everyone,
I have a new Dell Optiplex GX620, dual core and the Dell USB mouse
freezes a 1...2 times a week, keyboard still works. I unplug it and
plug it back and it works. I was wondering if there is a problem with
USB , windows XP or my Dell PC/mose? When I had PS/2 mouse I never had
my mouse locking up. I called Dell they told me it is not the
hardware, first they told me this is a driver issue [how come if it
works right after unplug/plug back in?], next they said windows glitch
but I do not consider good explanations. To me everything that locks
up after a while it is hardware.
Thanks a lot
