24880 2001-11-18 22:35:00 A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my mother board. This required me to also buy a new Video and sound cards, because my old board had a multipin ES card, and the new one had normal slots.

Everything worked well for about 10 days, but lately the icons on the desk top are moving all over the place as I move my mouse, either on the desktop or in some other window.

How can I stop this happening

24881 2001-11-18 22:44:00 I have heard of similar problems but have never had it myself but I think cleaning the mouse ball & mouse would solve the problem. I am uncertain with the results people have had by doing that but it's a good place to start. Guest (0)
24882 2001-11-18 22:53:00 not to sure about the icons.

what os? and did you format and reinstall?

with win9x/me swapping motherboards without formating and reloading windows can be problemmatic to say the least.

24883 2001-11-18 23:38:00 Are you saying the icons move as you try and put your mouse cursor over them? I know a few people who had that problem. I think you will find that your comupter is infected with a virus (im sorry, i dont remember what its called) Do you have any anti-virius software? if you do, you should probably update it, and if not, you had better get some.
