mouse problems

I am using XP PRO . I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY A4TECH MOUSE IT SEEMS TO BE FREEZING UP AND WHEN IT FREEZES UP THE PC MAKES A BEEPING SOUND THEN UNFREEZES . LOOKED AT MIRCOSOFT HELP PAGES NOTHING TO HELP THERE AND DONE A TROUBLESHOOTING AND THEY COULDNT HELP EITHER. OHHH THE ONLY WAY THIS MOUSE WORKS I HAD TO SPEED UP THE POINTER .
AM THINKING BOUT REFORMATTING TO SEE IF THAT HELPS ….. ANY IDEAS
THANKS PHILL
