Mice - Software

[thetoastman]

Recently, my MX500 Optical mouse started freezing on my XP/Pro side of the machine.  Sometimes the mouse would disconnect from the USB port (icon appears and disappears from taskbar), and other times I have to go unplug the mouse in order to recover.

Now I have started to blue-screen (mostly on LHidFlt2.sys) with DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS

My XP/Pro is patched with the latest patches, and I am running version 9.79 of the driver.

I've not added any hardware to the machine (an ancient Dell 8200), and the mouse appears to work well on the Linux (Fedora 9, latest kernel) side.  This is an old USB 1 system.

I can go into more detail concerning hardware and software, but I've not really changed anything outside of the monthly Windows XP/Pro updates in a long long time.

Needless to say, the mouse freezes (and crawling to the back of the machine to unplug) are annoying.  The blue screens are a very serious matter.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please check if there are any errors in Device Manager. If there are any, please remove those drivers and reinstall them.
