A couple of alternatives before buying a new mouse.

*1 Try an old fashioned Tethered ball mouse... and one that you know
works....
*2 Clean the mouse inside (which may invovle unscrewing it)
*3 Reinstall Windows.


BTW.. For Wireless Optical Mouse designers... how about an ON/OFF
switch please to save battery life!


Surely you don't mean that. A software auto-on (immediately when movement
sensed) and auto off (after a certain period of inactivity) is far
superior.


unless it's in your briefcase!

This from someone who uses Expee and Outhouse Distress on a system with

Perhaps an oxymoron but I have no problems with either. Try it and see for

No need. I don't use Windows for the Internet. You should try that and
stop using an antiquated, vulnerable and exploitable OS.
