Odd mouse behaviour

[mytwopenceworth]

My mouse is going crazy.

It's a usb mouse, not one of those with the ball in.

It is the way it controls the cursor - very jerky, keeps shooting the cursor off everywhere and keeps freezing it. It was so bad that I replaced my mousemat, thinking that was the problem, but it is just as bad on the new one.

The odd thing is, if I ....

and this is where it gets daft.....

...use my chest instead of the mousemat (I swear I'm not making this up!) then it moves fine. So I end up moving the mouse around my breasts to control the cursor.

I do not want to have to fork out for a new mouse if it is not the problem.

Does anyone have a clue?

[paranoid] that this was about me

and pmsl btw

yes, now whenever you read my posts, you will have a very clear picture of me rubbing my mouse all over my frontage!

But tis a very annoying problem!

Isketch is particularly entertaining!!!!

Does youre mouse have its own set of drivers if so try reinstalling them or updating them.Also try cleaning the mouse even though its not a ball mouse it may still have bit of dirt or dust bothering it.
Also is ther a possiblity that you can give me a list of running prossesses on youre pc.

If it's an optical mouse, they can be very fussy about mousemats - they usually don't like strong contrasts or absolutely black mats. My mouse sometimes does this - it's better in one of the USB ports than the others - no idea why
