Oh, great computer geeks - I appeal to you today....
I have a Logitec optical mouse, and it has recently started going to sleep after about 30 second of non-use. I've had the mouse for well over a year (several sets of batteries) and the battery replacement test has already been performed!
When it was new, and up until a week or so ago, the mouse was always "ready to use". If I moved the mouse, the cursor moved too. Now, if it sits for 30 seconds or so, it goes to sleep and I have to click either button to "wake it up". And, if I happen to leave it over a link, I get taken to that link, which is annoying. (As an example, in just the short time I've type this thought-out post, it has gone to sleep again.)
Any ideas? We recently installed AIM. Could there be a setting there that would cause this problem? I've also installed Quicktime 6.0 (or 6.1?) and that has caused some problems (I think it was QT) with all the icons on my desktop (win98) to flicker in unison.
Help!
Thanks, Todd.
