Hi,
A few friends including myself bought these a couple of months ago and we have had nothing but problems with the mouse not being recognised on XP startup. The only way to get XP to see it again is to unplug and plug it into a different USB port. We are all experiencing the same problem and I just did a reinstall last night on a new mobo and still the same problem. Seems to do it with or without the Razer drivers.

Running the lastest drivers and firmware.

Its getting to the point where we are going just send the things back. Never had a problem with my MS mouse.

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Hi,
Yes from my 2405 to all the ports on the mobo. Was using a DFI SLI and now using AN32-SLI both experienced the same problem with a fresh install on the AN32 last night. 3 other friends who also bought the mouse at the same time have the same problem.

It's a nightmare, isn't it? My diamondback does exactly the same thing. I think I found a cure on the FAQ page at the razorzone website.

Go into device manager and open the usb controllers section at the bottom.

Go to properties on each USB root hub, and select the power management tab.

Untick where it says Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

So far this has worked for me.

Good luck. These mice are great if you can get the bugs ironed out.
