weird mouse problem- please suggest (& also suggest a good mouse to buy)
Hi,
I am having a weird mouse problem.
I have a A4 tech ball mouse (PS2) for more than 2 years , its been really good & have taken much tortures.
For past few weeks 1) the mouse pointer was getting stuck suddenly forever,
2) sometimes pointer was going mad , unresponsive & eratic movement & random cliking on the screen - a total chaos!
It needed a restart or unplugging the mouse & re-plugging it to make it normal ly working again.
But now the pointer gets stuck within 2/3 minutes forever after i start my computer & plugging out & in does not help either.
I am using windows xp , i have tried - cleaning the mouse ball & rotators properly, setting the mouse settings to default & finally uninstalling & reinstalling the device from device manager.
One may suggest - "wats the big deal buy a new mouse" - i will! but i just need to be sure (as i would prolly buy good costly mouse if i do) whether it is a problem with my current mouse or windows or my motherboard's PS2 port?!
Thanx for reading this long post & please suggest. (I am using keyboard to do all these posting & everything & it sucks!)
