mouse problems

well the thing is i have a rather spastic mouse. sometimes it doesnt quite move on the screen. sometimes it jumps. sometime it frezes. i reinstalled the drivers and still have the problem. anyone have any suggestions

 

What kind of mouse do you have ???

The model please.....

 

Well , The Symptomps you have told indicate you have a Optical Mouse, If Yes, then change the Mouse Pad, There is a Issue with Optical Mouse because of the basic Technology of how it works, when you change the mouse Pad, please ensure the Mouse Pad is not shiny and reflective, better go for a Dull, Rough, Opaque Surfaced Mouse Pad.

 

actually its a old gateway cheapy mouse. not sure on a model or anything

 

Is it a Ball PS/2 Mouse or a Optical USB Mouse ? If that is an old Mouse then its unlikely to be a Optical Mouse, May be its days are over !!!! Try Removing the Ball, Clean the Ball, Clean the Rolers within and try

 

ps/2. cleaned the rollers and stuff though. any other ideas.

 

Nothing Much with PS/2 .... I guess its time for a new One .... any other idea Ppl
