Unplugging didn't work, I will likely go out and buy a new one (I still average one freeze a day <8 hours online/day>
My mouse has a USB plug which is plugged into a converter with a round connector that fits into the mouse outlet in my PC. I tried to plug the USB plug directly into another USB port, but my PC did not recognize it as new hardware (didn't work). Why wouldn't plugging directly into a USB port work?
