Mahler, suprisingly MS has a pretty good hardware support system. Go to their webpage, fill out a request form stating what your problem is, and they *should* give you a number to call. They basically will send you a new mouse as long as you can fax them an image of the bottom part of the mouse.
That'd be my first suggestion considering how bad i've had it with MS mice. The other suggestion would be to check your mice's power management tab (via device manager). Make sure "Allow this computer to turn this device off to save power" is unchecked. It's doubtfull that's your problem, but worth a try.
While your at it, get both (broken ones) sent in with the same problem, and give the extra to a friend.
