MS Optical Mouse Problem
Using MS Optical three button mouse (not wireless) on a Win XP Home
computer. Every now and then the mouse pointer "runs around the screen" out of control or freezes momentarily (30secs or so). I have purchased a replacement mouse (of the same type) and it does the same - therefore not a hardware problem? What else could be the cause of these very annoying problems? TIA

MS Optical Mouse Problem
Reinstall your video adapter drivers. If that does not fix
the problem, you may have a defective video card or it needs to be reseated in the slot. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!
