| 90828 | 2002-10-19 11:24:00 | My mouse has started jumping about the screen at random times and clicking things I didn't click - not moving but actually disappearing and appearing in a new spot, it started about 3 days ago and is rapidly becoming more frequent. I've tried the antivirus and got nothing, I keep my computer pretty clean so I can't really see why it's started suddenly. My only idea is the wires are wearing out and making it play up. It's a microsoft intellimouse optical, it's not on a network and it happens when I'm off the internet as well as on, in case that matters. I've had it for around 8 months now. Surely this is a rather short life span for a mouse? Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. |

| 90834 | 2002-10-20 03:36:00 | Sounds like a hardware fault - the switches or wires packing up. Check the tail of the mouse - are there any rough edges of the case rubbing on the wire? These days I just use cheap mice so that they are expendable without too much knashing of teeth and dollar counting. They work. |

| 90835 | 2002-10-20 03:46:00 | i couldn't find the link, but found some other interesting answers, it could be caused by a trojan that is in ur hdd, or also because maybe u have kept the ms intelli mouse wire close to power cables that run across at the back of the pc, this could cause some considerable interference causing ur mouse to go "psycho". This can be remedied by keeping the powercables and other unneccesary cables away from the mouse cable. cheers, v.K---------------------- :D |
