Why does my mouse courser keep freezing?

You have answered your own question... be restarting every two days you are cleaning and clearing your systems ram memory, history,,,etc,,,

Batteries ran down in the optical mouse. I put in new batteries and now I can't get the mouse to work. it's frozen

Remove the battery off and keep aside from within the mouse. Now disconnect the USB - optical detector to the PC. Shut down the PC . Replace battery once again and power the PC, then connect the USB to see if the mouse is detected.
If not remove off installed software of the optical device and reinsert once again so that it gets detected.

My F8E832 wireless mouse and keyboard get very slow to respond after an hour or two of activity. If you shut down and reboot the system all returns to normal. Just doing a restart doesn't do the job. How...

Best if we know which operating system is used.
(First things first .. Batteries)
However, there is an easy way to narrow-down the issue.
I'd try the mouse/keyboard on another PC, and check it's action. If it works there, then perhaps drivers from the manufacturer's website can be installed on the PC referred to.

Microsoft wireless mouse 700 works, slows, then stops

Seems like new batteries did the trick. Should start simple.

But I am not totally convinced. I will keep an eye on it.

Mouse switch off

On most mice, you cannot shut the power off to them without removing the batteries and they will run down rather quickly. There is really nothing you can do unless you buy a mouse with a shutoff switch like my Logitech or use rechargeable batteries or just shut the computer down. Sorry.

Mouse problems

Take a q-tip and wipe the optical lens being careful not to apply pressure against the lens. This may or not help. Worth a try. Bud

Bought an optical mouse today when i turn off the computer it still stays lite. how do i fix this.item #81250NS

The model of mouse (SAKAR 81250NS) you have has fancy external lighting, but should get its power from the computer's PS2 port , so unless the mouse has its own internal battery for keeping itself lit up, your computer is not actually turning off, but perhaps just going into power save mode. I am not that familiar with that mouse brand, but to check if it has its own internal battery, shut down the computer all the way and then unplug the computers power cord. If the mouse still is lit up, then your computer is not the problem.

Network connection

It probably stops working due to the heat. The solder connection to the motherboard may not be up to par. To get round it I would purchase a PCI network card and use that instead. If the mouse bothers you, you can always unplug it, but it is something that you dont need to worry about.
