Mouse turns off and on

Aug 21, 2010 1:26PM PDT

Hi, I have a Logitech G9 laser mouse and it has been giving me problems ever since I clicked a deceiving link from someone on livestream. The problem is that every now and then it turns off for about 5 seconds (I hear Windows ****) then it turns back on (Windows ****)

Anyone have any ideas of what I can do about this besides format Windows...? I tried plugging it into different ports and I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the usb drivers. This problem is extremely aggravating when playing a game.

Nevermind, I reinstalled Windows and the problem is fixed. Thanks anyway.

It turns out that the problem isn't fixed because my mouse is breaking, the cord at the base of the mouse does not like to be pulled downward.
