Microsoft Optical 3000 mouse freezes every 2-3 min for 5 seconds

Perhaps when changing batteries they lost the connection/pairing.
I don't know this particular mouse, but usually there's a small "connect" button on both the mouse and the receiver, you have to press them both for the devices to pair.

there should be a button on the underside of the mouse and then on the reciever if it is working correctly you have to push both buttons to get it to link up to wireless, if it still will not work replace the batterys

try a new batteries most likely it is the batteries and sorry to hear about this issue

try plugging the usb adapter into a different usb port of the computer and there must be a connect button on tat adapter..press the connect button on tat aadapter and then press the connect button on the mouse {after replacing the battery}.if it doesnt work on 1st go ,,try 2-3 times,,,and hey best of luck

I had the same problem.
Press the button on the underside of the USB, the green light will flash. Now press the reset button on the underside of the mouse. Your mouse should now work.

Most devices last a long time. Have you tried re-installing the software for the keyboard & Mouse> Also go to microsoft download center and get the latest drivers for you setup. Make sure when you do, choose the right Operating System driver for your Keyboard & Mouse. Hope this helps. Bud

I fixed an MS wireless mouse that was not responding by pressing the button on the receiver while it was connected to a USB port & then pressing the button on the mouse. Worked fine after that.

Hi again,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me" and the repeat use of FixYa.

Interesting concern, should be pretty straightforward. Anyways, pls try to:

• update/re-install the driver from Microsoft Download page;
• alternately, disable the "Allow the computer to turn off..." in the Power Management tab of the USB Root Hub Properties in your Device Manager.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you again for using FixYa.
