Freezing Mouse

[derekpara]

After leaving my PC switched on but unattended for quite a while, say, 3 hours, the mouse arrow refuses to move and I have to re-boot.

Is there a PC problem ?

If not, how do I revive the poor old mouse without rebooting ?

Cheers.

Its probably filthy. Its probably seized up because of dust & sweat that builds up over time. take the ball out give it a good wipe, look inside and get a small brush and give it a brush out. How long ago was it you did this? Should be cleaned every 2 - 3 months.

Thanks, Jem. Sadly, mousy is of the eunoch variety ( No ba**s !) Still, he may quite like some sort of service if one is available. Otherwise he may have to be retired.

Cheers.

Get yourself a new usb optical mouse and you wont have any more problems they are pretty cheap

Thanks, Galeck. Seems the sensible thing to do.

Cheers.
