Mouse scrolling/draging problems

[ShadowKnight]

[sighs]

Im using a Logitech Optical Mouse. Everything was working okay, until one day, when the scrolling stopped.

When im using Firefox, it scrolls like 3 lines when the wheel does a full rotation, then it stops working. In game, it doesnt function at all.

Now, when im highlighting text, it acts like I let go of the left button and clicked again, when I didnt. When im dragging an item across the desktop, it does the same thing. Like if something is telling the mouse to stop what its doing every few seconds.

Also, when I click something once, it sometimes reads it as twice.

So when I want to drag something, it lets it go and opens it up when I still had the left mouse button down.

This has gotten very annoying. Any help with this is greatly appriciated.

did it come with drivers,and if so have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I dont know if it came with drivers, I didnt put it in.

I ran the recovery disk recently, so the driver could be outdated.

I looked around an in:
Control Panel > Mouse > Hardware > Properties > Driver

Theres an option to unistall the current driver. Should I use that or is ther a program like Driver Cleaner Pro that I should use?

go here and see if your mouse is listed.http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/categories/GB/EN,CRID=1792
if it is download the driver and install,that should sort it.
