Solved Mouse Problem

[TruffleSniffer]

Having a few problems with my Saitek GM3200 mouse after working fine for some time its now started to go to sleep during the game I have checked my usb ports and all the ports are free and open none ticked to let computer send to save power and send to sleep. The only way I can get it back working is to unplug from usb wait about 10 seconds and then plug back in. I have downloaded new drivers for mouse to see if that will cure problem but its still there. All other devices plugged in to same usb port work fine. Regards
In advance anticipation of any suggestions Many Thanks.

I would completely remove the drivers/software associated with the mouse and then reinstall the latest.

I'll attach the driver here, the software you will need to go
Download drivers and software for Saitek products
chose mice
chose your model and operating system then download.

Hi TruffleSniffer.
Go to Windows Start Orb > type "compmgmt.msc /s" without quotes in search bar. At computer management window > device manager > mouse and other pointing devices > expand it. Right click > properties > power management tab. It must look like below.
Hope that helps.

Sorry to say guys mouse worked ok for last 2 weeks now its started doing the same again I have gone through the suggestions that you previously posted but not worked this time just wondering if you can think of anything else to do other than bin the bloody thing.

This may sound silly but have you tried a different usb port in the rear of the case only?

 

[TruffleSniffer]

Yes I have tried it in all 6 of the rear usb ports and the 2 front ones just the same thing happens

Was there any system additions or downloads added when this symptom began, have you tried a restore back to when this wasn't and issue?

 

[TruffleSniffer]

Right thanks for the replies folks found the problem it's where the wire comes out the mouse if you squeeze it your gun fires move it to the left and mouse stops working pull it or push it nothing happens so it appears to be a wire problem inside the lead. I have cured it temporarily by pouring a load of super glue round the wire working now so reckon I will have to splash out on a new one.

You have to play nice with your mouse if you want your mouse to live a good long life ! lol
