Mouse trouble

I've got one of those and mine started doing that. A mate of mine said are you using a mouse mat and i said yes he said is it a picture one and i said yes and he said chuck your mouse mat and use a one with no picture on it or just use the desk. The sensors dont like having different patterns to bounce off. Tried that and it worked for about 5 mins and started again. Failing that i swapped it over from the one with the 8 pin holes in and stuck it in my usb ports.
 
It sounds like the optical gubbins in your mouse is on the verge of going belly up or if it is not a wireless mouse it could be break in the lead at the mouse end or the other end.

On the other hand if it is a USB mouse with a PS2 adapter it could be bad contacts somewhere.

Try your wayward rodent on someone else’s computer. If it still misbehaves then there is only one thing for it – a new mouse.
