Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.

Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 OK so i am having some major problems that are starting to really piss me off:

Currently i am using a Logitech G5 USB gaming mouse (2000dpi laser).
A few weeks ago (almost a month now) my mouse started just turning off and on randomly
The mouse is wired so this is wierd, very wierd.
At first I thought it was a problem with the mouse being old, or the USB ports are screwed up. So i tryed different ports on my computer to no avail. While testing this I noticed something major. NONE of my other USB devices had any problems with any ports on my computer, so i figured it must be the mouse.

I broke out my trusty Razor Copperhead and hooked it up and started having the same problem after an hour or so. Same on all ports. I did not install anything new when this started happening or anything.

If anyone has an idea on why this might be happening PLEASE let me know. I feel i might have to hook up a USB to PS2 converter (which i really don't want to do)
I can't find anyone else having the same problem as me. I tryed something i saw online (ie watching process list and seeing if any spike on cpu cycles during the time mouse is dead and none do).

Another important fact that i failed to mention above is that this only happens WHEN IM USING THE MICE!!!
If I dont touch the mouse, it doesnt reconnect/turn off and back on or w/e the fk it does. It doesn't always happen but it does happen enough to really piss me off. Any help would be glady appreciated! It happens with BOTH USB mice i have tryed (1 of which aka the copperhead was never used before!)

thanks in advance for any help!

also sorry i havent been on lately but my mouse is pissing me off (makes it hard to play) and ive been in boston for the past 5 days! Edited Mon Apr 23 2007, 07:09PM

 If I were you, I'd try updating my BIOS, then if that doesn't work, contact the manufuncturer of the computer and go through their support process.

no shit? cheesey, yea i might check out the bios and contact the manufacturer? I build my own computers thank you very much. Ive been working with computers for 16 years so don't treat me like an idiot. If worse comes 2 worse i will go dig through boxes and try out a USB to PS2 converter.

 Just a guess, but maybe the usb ports work fine, but they don't supply power to the mice, so when you recharge the batteries they aren't getting fully charged? I dunno it sounded like a battery problem to me.

 Sorry i might have missed it but both the copperhead and G5 are wired mice (aka they don't charge) Also to make sure the mice were getting enough power anyway, I only had my 1 mouse and 1 keyboard plugged in at a single time (and still do ATM) and I am still having the problem.

 does the mice come with software? mine does, Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000. If it does, then try getting rid of the program and run the mouse without it.
