| 1110687 | 2010-06-16 06:51:00 | My mouse has become rather jerky,not as smooth as it used to be,also when playing patience it tend to sort of chatter again instead of smooth action as it was b4? Can anything be done about this lads? Forgot to mention,I did a full malware bight scan,it seemed to improve,but am back to chatter again |

| 1110689 | 2010-06-16 07:27:00 | not a hair in your optical hole thingie, or dirty pads | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 1110690 | 2010-06-16 07:35:00 | Are you losing patience? I do,mostly:o I just rebooted and it improves,but in no time it will become jumpy again. My mouse is a laser type,so not many holes to get hair in! |

| 1110693 | 2010-06-16 09:37:00 | Still OK after reboot,so will report back if it misbehaves again. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1110694 | 2010-06-16 12:49:00 | Is it PS/2 or USB? I know I have had issues like you describe with a perfectly good USB mouse, that was used through a PS/2 to USB converter on an older computer... Perhaps the chip in the mouse doesn't like the chipset in the computer :( |

| 1110695 | 2010-06-16 13:44:00 | My mouse is a laser type,so not many holes to get hair in! Some laser mice have the laser and photodiode recessed into the base about 5mm or so (my MS wireless mouse does), and it gets hair/fluff in the hole occasionally, which causes the pointer to dodge and weave about, take a look with a magnifying glass, can be very small. Another cause may be if you're using a "3D" style mouse pad (with a "moving" (lenticular (en.wikipedia.org)) picture) it can cause the pointer to jump all over the screen. |

Perhaps the chip in the mouse doesn't like the chipset in the computer :( USB,It has worked ok for 6 months. I shall check it's hole:) |
