This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying. So very very annoying.

I'll start with the basics:

My first mouse was the:
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer

My Current mouse is the:
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical

I am running WinXP Pro on:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
786 MB Ram

Here is the problem:
This started happening a few months ago...and ive been trying to work on it myself and i cant figure it out for the life of me. It happened with BOTH mice too. What happens is I will hear the bloop bloop sound that winxp makes when a USB device becomes disconnected. Then 1 second +/- it makes the same bloop bloop again. During that 1 second or so, my mouse beomes non active. The laser light goes off, and comes back on. So basically I will be playing a game online, or cruising the interent, and that will happen and I will have to wait for a few seconds no matter what im doing and wait for it to come back to life. This happens every few minutes...id say about once every 10 - 20 min.

Things ive tried (that i can think of):

Taking my mouse out of the USB port and putting it back in (no effect)

Checking my device manager....but there is something strange about it. Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, I have 3 USB Root Hub, I also have 3 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller. I have tried deleting all but one of each...didnt do a thing.

Ive tried uninstalling the software and just using it...(no effect)

Ive tried reinstallin the mouse software....(no effect)

WHAT IS WRONG!?!? This is one of the most annoying thins in the world. ANY help would be SOOO greatly appreciated. Thx!!
 
Sorry to double post, but about my previous post, my mouse used to work fine. And I have not added any PCI cards since it worked fine. So I dont know why one of my PCI cards would start doing that now.
