My guess is that it's either a dud -- return it, or you need to update your drivers. Check Microsoft's web site and make sure you have the latest software.

For what its worth Im on my 3rd intilli mouse optical, they have a great warrnaty, take advantage of it.

Call ms support for your mouse, they will issue an rma and most cases will not have you return the bad one.

Pm me if you need the phone #

If it's a usb one, disable power saving features on that particular port in device manager. If you've an external USB card you can use then even better.
