did you check the bottom of the mouse?

What do u mean check the bottom of the mouse, what should i be looking for

An important question was unanswered....have you tried using the mouse in a different USB port? In another computer's USB port?

If it didn't work in either, in all likelihood you have a dead mouse.

Yeah i have tried using different ports, but the mouse works sometimes like now, but other times it dont

Something that might obstruct the optics, like a 2 dollar coin or small marsupial.

Although, I'm inclined to say your mouse is slowly making it's way to peripheral heaven. You should buy a new mouse, you can get a decent brand one for 10- 20 dollars if you shop around. Try and get one with a ps2 plug or USB--> ps2 adapter, they are alot less problematic that way.

My mouse does have an adaptor but the adaptor is in a box somewhere

Anyone got any suggestions on a good mouse

Try finding it, it should avoid the problem with the hardware being detected and re-detected constantly. It won't fix the problem if the mouse is dying though.

Edit: I'm very happy with my Microsoft optical mouse, its rather comfortable and was only like 30. Its probably cheaper now though. Logitech make some awesome mice too.

it could be your usb slots, your mouse usb connector and/or your mouse in general,
to be honest.........i think you should throw yopur mouse out, and get a Logitech MX 510.

Logitech make good mice, I've got a microsoft one - but I got it for free. The other mice we have are Logitech, ones cordless but dosnt work - we dont know why, but thats the only time ive found a Logitech mouse not to work. If your into gaming, they put out some awesome gaming mice!

Im looking for a relatively cheap mouse, logitech sound good, dont want a cordless mouse, cause then you have the hassle of batteries to worry about, any model suggestions

Suggestions:

Logitech cordless duo (or just the cordless mouse);

The cordless mouse comes with a dock to recharge it in, so there's no need to worry about finding new batteries for it. And the batteries in the keyboard last for months.

Logitech Optical Mouse;

However, if you really don't want cordless, then get a Logitech optical mouse. Smooth, optical use all the way
