Thanks SJ, but I tried that already,as I stated. I tried 2 diff. Mice & one KB, same shit :(

This Problem started SUDDENLY around the 10.-15. of Octobe last year, after the monthly MS Updates....
so I taught it has something to do with the MS-Updates, so I made a system recovery to the state before the updates
but that didn't help neither...

This sucks BIG time :(

Were the 2 different mice the same make?  Logitech perhaps?  One trick that works sometimes is to open Device Manager, right click on the device giving the problem, then click Delete.  Reboot.  Windows will say it has found new hardware and reinstall the same driver.  For some reason this seems to work about 50% of the time or better.

Nope, they were diff. manufacturer, And yes(!) I did delete them from the dev. manager, as I already wrote in my original post.
Right now, it didn' happen for more than 2 hours, before that 2x in a minute. Believe me I tried everything & googled for months
but couldn't find a solution so far :(

JUST 2 SECONDS after I wrote the above, it happened again, F.*.C.K -  I am sooooooooo pissed

Hi, I am writing this here because I depserately hope that someone can help me with my EXTREMELY Super Annoying Mouse & Keyboard problem.

I was searching online for months for a solution but couldn't find anything, posted in some forums too, no-one was able to help so far.

I Only found one post that is indentical to my problem (in 99%) and since my English isn't the best, allow me to post here the Link to that
forum post: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/27782-63-super-annoying-freezing-mouse

Pleas read it & help me if you can; I have no mmoney for a new PC & working like this isn't fun at all :(

Only during I wrote theses few sentences my Mouse died 4-times, I am going crazy with this.

I've tried another mouse & keyboard (that I was using for years); tried different USB-Hub, then without Hub connecting them directly
to the front/rear USB ports on my PC, deleted ALL non present HW from the HW-Manager, updated all drivers - NOTHING helps

I have Win 7 Enterprise 32-bit

Thank you in advance!


What I forgot to mention: when the Mouse dies, sometimes the red led on the bottom of the mouse goes out, sometimes it doesn't.
Also the 'device disconnected' icon pops up (inkl. the typical Windows sound), sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes the mouse/keyboard comes
'back to life' immediatelly, but mostly I have to pull it from the USB-Slot and then put it back (sometiimes 2-3-4- times), then it comes back.

Short Description

Steam allows you to create shortcuts on your desktop to launch games.  However, these shortcuts are not standard Windows .LNK files.  They are .URL files and, sometimes, they don't show the proper icon for the intended game even if the .URL file contains the correct information.  This app tries to solve the issue by converting the .URL shortcut into a .LNK shortcut.  Simply drag the .URL file onto the SteamURLConverter.exe file and it will immediately create a .LNK file in the same folder as the .URL file.

Supported OSes

All Windows

I have just tried it (Win7) but does work partially ONLY; it creates the Shortcut, but if I double click it,
nothing happenes (System Explorer showes me that Steam gets started) bat that is it, th egame won't start!  :(
