155378 2003-06-26 11:18:00 my mouse seems to stick or jam while im watching it move on screen but seems to move fine on mouse pad?

ive taken bottom off and roller ball out and its clean, or at least it looks clean. any ideas why it sticks on screen?

its an scroll intelimouse, pc comp, microsoft.

You may find that the monitor screen does not offer a good surface to roll the mouse on ..... it may also scratch the glass :D

Sorry, I know that was not helpful but I couldn't help myself ;\

155381 2003-06-26 11:31:00 dirt on mouse ball/rollers, hair in between the senors in the mouse, dirty or very smooth mouse pad or background app hogging the cpu. tweak'e (174)

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.

155384 2003-06-26 11:50:00 thanxs goddie,

yes have done a save onto a disk everything possible or thought i needed,
has been suggested i do a format ? and if really onto it a partition?

have another post going on format at moment, as i dont know how to do, but cant find relavant info for win xp format,

have been doing a search, but have not found anything that sticks to just xp, and ive read Chill's FAG on PF1, but have not understood it enuf to just plough in and to hell with what happens, skin of me teeth, attitude, she'll be rite thing.

as i dont want to stuff it beyond repair, or cost lotsa $$$

any recomendations for a printable reading would be greatly appreciated
