thats VERY weird.
My PC did that just last night, plugged the mouse into another socket and all was fine.
you've got me worried now, PC's have a tendancy to just go pop on me :(
and my windows installation did almost wipe itself clean the other day- it failed to boot. I had to install a dodgy Xp pro. After setting all THAT up, i realised I could moodify the new INI file to point at my old installation. bingo, system back.
Q) Why did my XP disk decide to not find the windows installation already on the drive (I just wanted to repair)..
Anyhow, sounds like somethings gone pop for you mate.... get the duster out first, check your jumpers, and the PSU.
[edit]
Tony, those mice should just work really, but thinking about it, you might need to turn on "Legacy USB support" in the bios for it to just plain work.
