Windows XP Pro Sp2

Microsoft PS/2 Port Mouse (Intellipoint) Optical Mouse

Anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes after I boot, the mouse freezes. Any
animation running at the time will continue to run but I have no mouse action.
I have followed the instructions in "Help and Support" , uninstalled in Device
Manager, restarted and let it install itself two times but there is no change.
I have to restart when it happens and lose any information I have entered
while word processing.

Can anyone help?

Time for new batteries?

P.S. You can usually save a word processing document from the keyboard.
In Microsoft Word, for example, press CTRL+S. Word also has a feature
that automatically saves documents every 'x' minutes - you choose the
interval. I'll bet most other word processors also have these two features.

Amazing Leonard. There is a Microsoft KB Article which makes your point
and adds some other suggestions,

The Microsoft wireless keyboard or wireless mouse does not respond as
expected

And I'm also glad that posters are benefiting from your knowledge and
experience.

A new mouse cured the problem right away.
