I'm using a basic plugin Logitech laser mouse and was having a lot of trouble with it, cursor sticking in one spot on the screen for seconds at a time, jumping and moving the page down, hanging when trying to X close a window, etc whether or not any pariticular mouse problems you may be experiencing are related to your mouse pad, once I'd changed the many year old fabric covered mouse pad I'd been using to a 'plastic' mouse pad, the mouse problems stopped I did reverse the up side of the pad and use the mouse on the bottom rougher side of the pad as I found the up side too slick resulting in the cursor skating
Yep, Replace mouse pad every 3-6 months @Walmart. $3.00 per pad. Nice! I also use a logitech wireless laser mouse. The batteries lasted over a year; as this mouse shuts down when not being used. peace Hedvig
ok, I soon discovered that changing the mouse pad did not stop the mouse problems yesterday, prior to purchasing a new mouse, I unplugged the problem one and plugged in an old ball mouse I have, clunky to say the least anyway, went to the Control Panel and clicked on the Mouse icon wanting to see if the driver had changed, hadn't, then looking thru the tabs menus discovered that 'Hide pointer while typing' was checked - I unchecked it, but don't know how it got checked in the first place - Pointer Options clunky ball mouse seemed to work ok, unplug it and plugin problem mouse and - no more problems I haven't gone so far as to check the 'Hide pointer while typing' again to prove it was that that was causing the problem rather than a different mouse 're-setting' the computer but after a shutdown last night and reboot this morning the mouse is still working fine
