Hey, I've got an Intellieye Explorer that I used with the USB->PS/2 converter because I had Windows NT 4.0 instaled. Then I upgraded to Windows 2000, but left the mouse on the PS/2 connector still. I also had Windows 98se installed with the mouse on the PS/2 connector.
I noticed however that when I shut the machine off, the red light would stay on and would never go off. My brother also has the same mouse, and his is plugged into the USB port because he was always using Win98se, and his mouse went off when the computer was off..
To that end, I removed the converter and plugged the mouse directly into the USB port. When I rebooted into both WIndows 2000 Professional and Windows 98se, they recognized the fact that the USB port had a mouse and the PS/2 port was missing a mouse and configured things appropriately.
Now, my mouse does go off when the computer is off. However, I've got an issue of the mouse 'timing out' after a few seconds of non-use. So, I was on a webpage reading something and didn't move the mouse for about 1 min or so, when I was ready to either scroll the page(using the wheel) or move the mouse around, the pointer would be stuck for a few seconds and then it would come to life and do as I instructed.
I can only describe this as the USB port shutting down for inactivity and then powering on again when it sensed activity. This is further proved by the fact that if I keep moving the mouse around and don't stop at all, then it; obviously, stays on and functioning.
I've searching these and other forums and most, if not all, of the posters have issues with the sluggish movement of the cursor, unprecise pointing, or something else. But no delay/freeze like me..
One thing I can think of is if re-install W2K or Win98se with the USB mouse plugged into the USB port from the beginning, this would not happen...
But short of that, are there anything that I can try to solve this??? Regards
