Hi again. Why is my stoopid MS wireless mouse not working properly, it used to. It "sticks" in one place when I try to move the cursor and the buttons don't work sometimes. It's so intermittent and random it drives me crazy. I've replaced the batteries, restarted and to no avail. Thanks for all your help in the past.

Have you cleaned the bottom? Sticky stuff builds up below.

[KenpoDon]

Yes I cleaned the bottom, the touchpad seems to do it too though not as bad.

[AcaCandy]

Does it do the same thing in safe mode?

[KenpoDon]

Yes it does it in safe mode also. I was wrong about the touchpad, it doesn't do it when I only use the touchpad. I'm thinking maybe it's the mouse itself.

[AcaCandy]

Yes, mice do die, unfortunately.

Howdy AcaCandy, thanks for all your help. I'll mark this as solved and try a different mouse.

[AcaCandy]

You're welcome. Let us know.

[AcaCandy]

Also, another quick thought, try a different mouse pad.

I downloaded AVG 8.0 free edition and the mouse problem went away! Weird

That's a new one

Thanks for the feedback.
