    intellimouse explorer + i815 problems

    My work machine is 1G pentium on a intel 815 board made by acer
    (its an acer veriton 7100)
    Has on board video, but I use a agp g200 and an PCI old millenuim.

    using the standard mouse I have no problems(USB).

    But if I use the USB intellimouse exploerer(version 1) it will work perfectly, except if I leave the mouse plugged in over night it will crash the machine.(unplugging when I leave work works, but If I forget it will be locked up the next day)

    It seem to be a powersaving problem, but it does not crash when the screen saver kicks in and the PC is set to always be on?.

    I just can not find a solution

    may have try a USB to ps2 converter?

        If your Windows version supports your mouse without additional drivers uninstall the MS Intellimouse software -unless you absolutey need to be able to program all buttons.

            still crashing.

            no hibernate
            no standy
            hdd do noyt spinf down.
            screen saver only.

            I will install the inetillpoint software and see if that fixes it.

              Distributed folding screensaver may be the cause!!.
