| 155383 | 2003-06-26 11:44:00 | beetle, it sounds like its not the mouse thats the problem, based on your other recent problems. You have mentioned how slow the PC is. You also mention (above) that the button click is sometimes not responded to. These symptoms suggest that your PC is too "busy" doing something else (since the power cut) that it cannot acknowledge all the mouse signals. Its possible some critical system files are not very well, and this could be a major factor. Its impossible to say which ones, or how you could fix it easily though. I am concerned in case the system croaks, have you got copies of all your work stored away from the PC, I would hate you to lose all the study you have done. |
