I think the problem of your is the version of your USB may be you have USB 1.0 try to upgrade your usb which is Version 2.0.

try unintalling any mouse software such as kensington or logitech or microsoft mouse stuff. if still no joy the i would try the mice in another system. to me sounds like you have two bad mice.

under device man. in Control panel, uninstall the USB controller completely, aswell as any mouse drivers you may have. reboot the pc with the USB mouse attached. it should autodetect ur USB controler aswell as ur mouse. otherwise, try a "brand new USB mouse"
