Mouse pointer unresponsive?

Forum CPU & Components : Other Components Mouse pointer unresponsive?

Word :    Username :           
 

I have a Kensington PilotMouse Optical that I started using recently. What happens is... when the mouse sits idle for about ~3-4 seconds, the pointer becomes unresponsive which it doesn't move. The mouse resumes normal operation if I move it enough -or- if I lift it off of the mouse pad.

It's quite annoying at times... in cases it makes it very frustrating when playing any online FPS games where a correctly working mouse is crucial.

What are your thoughts?
