Wireless Mouse problem

I bought a GE Wireless Mouse a month or two ago and it didn't work right. I would be able to move it for a minute or two then it would lock up my computer. I want to buy another one because a mouse with a wire gets agravating sometimes. At the time I had Windows ME and now I have XP PRO. It met all the system requirments, so what could of went wrong? Also if anyone could recomend one here is what I have:

Windows XP PRO
256mb Ram
996mega hertz
Hewlett Packard computer

Not sure if any of that was needed but what the heck. Thanks

 

i recommend going down to the local best buy or office depot and picking one up. there isn't really much of a difference other than optical verse the ball, or battery powered verse recharable battery powered.

make sure the batteries arent dead and the proper drivers are installed.
