Mouse problems?

[tomping]

I have a big problem with my computer mouse.

Sometimes it the cursor only stops fore a couple of seconds and its very very annoying!!

Do anyone know what to do or has had the same kind of problem??

What type of mouse is it ? Optical or Regular ? if it's regular, have you tried cleaning the ball area ?

[tomping]

its a wheelmouse and yeah i have cleaned it and all that
Thats not the problem unfortunalty.

I can´t figure out what the problem can be..

Do you have the possibility to try the mouse on a different PC or another mouse on your PC ?

I'm assuming it's not a USB mouse which can be a whole other set of problems. One thing you might try is reinstalling the mouse driver. Deleting the device from My Computer / Properties / Devices and rebooting is a possibility. IF it's a Microsoft mouse I would recommend downloading the most recent version of Intellimouse (5.0 I believe) from Microsoft (it's free) and installing it. Should take care of any driver issues

if it's a wireless mouse then your mobile phone or wireless network may be interfering.

It's also possible that something is using up all your resources. My internet PC is only a AMD K6-2 350. It's running eMule all the time, and periodically that program uses 100% of processor time, freezing the mouse cursor for a second or so when this happens. You could have something running doing a similar thing. Just another possibility.

I have the same problem. I am using a Logitech Wireless Optical USB mouse on a WinXP Home OS.
It only seems to happen immediately after closing a program so I just assumed it was just hiccuping while that closed program was being put to bed.
I'll watch your responses to see if someone has a solution. It is kind of irritating.

USB 1.1 is ten times more likely to do it than USB 2.0.

I refuse to use a USB mouse unless its connected to USB 2.0. The mouse freezes for a couple of seconds every time the CPU is loaded heavily.
