  | I got a Labtec wireless mouse in Tesco. It works fine on USB, but "hangs" when 
  | not used for some minutes. To get it going again I have to repeatedly press 
  | the Connect buttons on the receiver and mouse for some time.
  | 
  | Is there a way to fix this?

 get a different mouse?   ½ ;-)

 probably a silly question, but are you sure it's "hung"?
 I also use a wireless USB mouse (via a PS2 adaptor (no free
 USB ports)), a Logitech model, and when not used for awhile
 it goes into a battery-conserving sleep mode.  waking it up
 requires a rather obvious motion (or button push?):  could
 something similar be happening here?

cheers!
