I am using a Logitech wireless optical mouse with my laptop which runs Vista. About three days ago, the mouse randomly shut off and continues to do so. After hitting connect, it will turn back on for a time ranging between 1 to 30 seconds before it shuts off again and I again have to use the connect fuction on the mouse.
According to Logitech there are no drivers for this mouse, I have tried all four USB ports, and I have changed the batteries to no avail. Furthermore, I switched to a spare Microsoft wireless optical mouse which experiences the same problem, although the reconnect function does not work with it. This leads me to believe it is an issue with Vista and not the USB ports or mice.
I am tired of using the touchpad, so please help me out! Thank you in advance.
PS. I do not have an issue with the mice and sleep mode specifically, but could it be a similar/related issue?
To clarify: the batteries are NOT dead on either mouse!
