I want to go back to 98

I am still having problems with my mouse opening up files. I have tried Spybot, Norton antivirus, Avg and they didn't find anything or they fixed it. Can I go back to windows 98 or am I better to fight this virus or mouse till I win? Also, what does biostar do and should I update it. It is a M6VLR board about a month old? I removed the software for Micosoft cordless mouse and reloaded it, but it will not work. I am using an old mouse now. The technical file says it is working properly. There are times it works better than others. At the present as I type it is working okay, but most of the time it will go back and start opening up flies all over the screen. It is not as bad on a CD data disk, once I get there.

 

Did you update you mouse driver before this started happening?
I had a similar problem last year, turned out that my new mouse driver was a virus.
NAV didn't find it for awhile.
I ended up having to boot to safe mode and re-install the original driver from floppy (against M$ advice).

When not in safe mode, the virus would not let me navigate to the CD ROM to update the driver.

Windows said I could not install this in the safe mode.

 

My server went down and I called support and they
said it would because I was in the safe mode. While he was on the phone, I asked him and he said he had a similar problem and it was with the Nimda virus..How do I check for that virus?

Sorry for the delay getting back, but I have to close as many as 50 files before I get back here.

 

Here is what Norton has to say about it.

This MS article may be of help. There is a known issue with XP & some of Microsofts mouse software.

There is also a program called Iconoid that deliberately does that to a mouse. (A joke) I don't suppose you have that installed.

 

I ran the check for the Nimda virus and it found nothing.
Sometimes the screen, which has the loggoff icon, on the right will bounce like a ball about 1 inch high for about 30-40 times. Only the right icon not the left one. Would you like to sign on and look at it through windows xp?

I removed my Microsoft Mouse from the USB port and attached the Microsoft adapter to the cord and reinserted into the regular mouse
hole....and it now works okay.

Thanks

 

Glad to hear!
