maybe you need to reinstall the software of your mouse.

This was a common problem on windows vista 64 bit if memory serves me..
I think the conclusion was to keep trying different ports while restarting or try a usb 1.1 instead of 2.0 port. Don't really remember though..

disable your usb ports via hardware manager
restart pc, and then enable them

This used to happen to me on Windows XP 32 bit. It would only start happening after I installed drivers from the disk that came with my motherboard (for sound, ethernet, etc.).
I never found a reason or a solution, only a work around.
I would have to leave the USB devices unplugged. After the Windows XP Loading screen, it flashes black before windows appears; I had to plug it in on that black screen.
