Dodgy Mouse

[racegirl]

Please can someone help me before I go mad. Working away, and quite often while mouse is in hand, or laying dormant, the pointerwill just randomly move, so when I go to click on the thing i want to, it's somewhere else! And REALLY annoying, anyone got any suggestions?

You wouldn't happen to be hitting the mouse pad with your other hand by any chance?

Failing that, poltergeist, definately.

Try taking out the ball from the bottom of the mouse and cleaning it and the rollers inside.

Either that or buy an infrared one

Give it's balls a good rub..... see if that does anything..


Sorry Podie, beat you to it mate

[mrs fish]

Mine does that too, and I have a ball less one

poltergeist without a doubt. You need to hold a seance around your desk to drive away the evil spirit. Either that or get/steal a new mouse

it hasn't got a ball, its got a red light on it?? Please please help, I can't get a new one!

Problem solved, just asked the strange guy next to me to see if his mouse plays up, and after a blank look he said his did aswell, and not to use the matt! Horray.

Good Job Racegirl.....

Now you can save all your ballrubbing for raceboy when you get home.....

Raceboy's like my mouse, NO BALLS ha ha, only kidding.

Optical mice sometimes have problems with the mouse mat they are sitting on, any white or reflective surfaces can make them jump around or move erratically.

I'll remind you of that next time you want PartyBoy next door to turn down his Techno
