I was a little displeased with the Intellimouse Explorer's performance under Win 2K, and I was having problems with it jumping or buttons sticking in FPS games, so I downloaded the Intellipoint 3.2 package and it helped a lot with OS operations and web surfing, but when playing games, after about 15 min, the mouse would die. The lights on it would stay on, but no input. I would quit and reboot. Now after a reboot last night, no mouse at all. Not even any lights turn on. I tried both USB and PS/2 ports and still nothing. I'm just asking if anyone else has had this problem and if so is there a fix.

I've had the same problem with the Intelli mouse w/ intelliEye.. it would flutter out every now and then. but i realized it was a hardware problem and had nothing to do with the software. You should return the mouse from where you got it , or , call microsoft. They sent me a brand new mouse free of any charge. So far i havent had any problems other that my overall disatisfaction of the mouse's shape and feel.
Good Luck, Sparkhard

how long did it take for them to send you a new one? i have one sitting around that i wanted to return since it has a "lifetime warrantee" what did u have to do?
i had one quit on me too. my advice is dont use USB. it seems to screw them up royally. a couple of my friends bought them before i did, and theirs' still work fine, but i had 1 quit on me. me, the smart consumer, bought another one. it's been fine, except the wiring is bad, so it's taped to one side.

OP
Upon further inspection, it is the crappy, thin gauge cable that they used. If I tug on it a little the mouse will light up. Thanks for the info. Since I need my mouse and I can't wait around to get a new one, I may have to screw over Wal-Mart.
dont be dissing on wal-mart man i work for them, well did as a part time job so go ahead and screw em. I use my Intellimouse explorer on my USB port and I havent had any problems other than the software not liking win whistler. By far the best mouse ive ever bought.
tell you what tho, i used to have a razer boomslang, the shoddy'st peice of crap i ever bought, its unsightly, un-comfortable, its buttons are too sensative, and to big, the mouse wheel clicks like the really old mouse wheels you used to get with the PS/2 or Com intelli-mice, (they clicked like fek)
