mouse problems

I have been experiencing problems with my microsoft wireless intellimouse
xplorer 2.0. I am using it with an abit ip35 pro motherboard, core 2 duo
processor and wireless desktop elite keyboard. I am connecting the mouse and
keyboard to the computer via the usb connection. I have no problems with the
wirelesss keyboard. The mouse, however, starts out acting normally but over
time (sometines seconds after I begin to use it) functionality diminishes to
the point where it becomes unusable. The mouse progressively ceases to
respond along the y and x axes (up and down). The mouse also loses its
functionality and I have to click on an icon several times before a program
lauches. I have reloaded the latest drivers, changed the usb connection,
changed batteries and altered the position of the receiver to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try it on a friends computer, if it's the same, it's "Broke"
