[dba-Tech] Mouse quit working...

Hi Gary,

All was working well when all of a sudden the mouse quit working.

The mouse works without installing the software.  But I had made no changes
to anything.  Later I'll try to remove the software also.

I did check in the control panel, that just brings up the Intellimouse
software. 

The troubleshooting stuff did not do anything for me.

Thanks,
Bobby

Is is possible that the driver software has some sensitivity setting
set incorrectly??  Do you have any special Intellimouse driver
software loaded? Try add and remove programs for that and try and
delete it? Or perhaps check under Mouse Properties in Control Panel??
There is also a TroubleShoot tab there on mine.
