i've been having these problems with my optical intellimouse for a while now, and they just seem to be getting worse. the mouse is connected via the usb port, and i've been having freezes or pauses quite often, and then it freezes for good, so i have to unlug it and plug it back in to get it to work.

lately, it'll freeze, and the add new hardware wizard will appear, searching for the driver. using the wizard, i can't find the proper driver, so i just unplug and replug again.

is this a mouse problem, or a usb port problem. optical mice don't just wear out, do they? do i just need to buy a new mouse?
