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

Even OE will let you reread the thread. It can even be configured to

Then you admit you have no idea what you're talking about? You speak from
emotion rather than fact.

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!

I have a Logitech wireless mouse that does not have an on-off switch.
I bought a small velvet bag to carry this mouse (and batteries) in after I pull the batteries out
when traveling with it.

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse that also has no on/off switch so I pull
the batteries from it whenever I travel :-)

Instead of pulling the batteries just move one of them enough to put a piece
of paper or plastic between it and the contact. Leave enough out to get a
hold on it for removal. If you get lucky it might be possible to pull the
insulator without removing the battery door. Mouse makes a good battery
carrier that way too. YMMV

I see we've got some clever dicks here! ;-)

But if you are going to go to all this bother to save a penny, why not have
a mouse with a proper tail in the first place?

As far as my personal experience has been, the tail never gets in the way
anyway. And you are far less likely to mis-lay the mouse, forget it or lose
it.

Why is the world so obsessed with doing everything wirelessly?

But then what does one expect of a world obsessively practising "safe sex"
at the expense of losing half the the joy of sex? ;-)
