| 151741 | 2003-06-11 04:23:00 | Newly formatted computer running M.E. The mouse pointer following bootup works normally. If the computer is left idle after a period of time the mouse goes crazy and is uncontrollable. This also happens after you have been on the Internet for a short time and is now doing it when Outlook Express is running and checking mail. Computer has 190 Mg ram and 2 Gb hard drive which has some faulty sectors. Any help or advice much appreciated |

| 151742 | 2003-06-11 05:34:00 | What sort of mouse is it? Have you tried all the connections to make sure nothing is loose? Also, do you have another mouse that you could try? Jen |

| 151745 | 2003-06-11 06:25:00 | Have tried both a standard mouse and a Genius mouse with a driver and still get the same trouble. | normlove (3997) | ||
| 151746 | 2003-06-11 06:47:00 | Changing the driver will not usually change the IRQ. What IRQ is reported as being used by each? Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - [right click on each device] - Properties - Resources. Post the info back here if you can. |

| 151747 | 2003-06-11 06:52:00 | I had something similair (it was a busted mouse) and it did this: Has fits constantly clicking (not by you) buttons and getting attracted to the start-bar? Cheap $5 mouse , Transparent green and had a logo that looked like an A (I think) Also check down the cable - it dosent have and stripped bits or huge kinks? if you think its a kink wiggle if and see if it has fits. Why does it sound like i'm torturing something? :D Cheers Patryn |

| 151748 | 2003-06-11 08:43:00 | I have checked the IRQ setting and they are not on the same one. | normlove (3997) | ||
| 151749 | 2003-06-11 08:48:00 | Both mice that we tried are fairly new. The Genius is very new. | normlove (3997) | ||
| 151750 | 2003-06-11 09:07:00 | Modem is on IRQ 3. Mouse is on IRQ 12 | normlove (3997) | ||
