I am greatly TROUBLED with my mouse, it SEEMS to have a mind of it's own .... when typing it moves the words around both in Outlook Express and Word also when browsing it will open pages up automatically, when it hovers or passes over any links. I have used both Logitecch and MS mice ... I use Windows XP Pro and Office XP ... I have checked over with the latested versions of Norton and Lavasoft Adaware ... nothing shows up ... YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.... AND THE WORST OF BELLY ACHES TO ALL VIRUS WRITERS
Sounds more like a conflict to me. Have you disabled all other pointing devices?Please reinstall your mouse drivers... This SHOULD solve your problem.... LET us know...

[glb]Flame[/glb]What type of mouse is this?

Have you scanned for viruses?I wonder if there is a virus attacking the mouse as mine has recently started freezing briefly then it works and gradually gets worse up to freezing all TOGETHER. I suppose the mouse can eventually die but my system states it is working properly.

DWMickLadies and Gents, may I just say clarify a few things.

Firstly, that little block with the buttons on that you move around? It's the mouse. The little arrow that moves around the screen when you move the mouse? That's the cursor.

Second, the mouse is an inanimate object. It cannot die. Even if you throw it against a wall in a fit of rage.

And thirdly, there probably is a virus which messes with the mouse cursor, no doubt programmed by a sixteen year old who still FINDS the notion that girls don't have a willy as an absurd concept, in which case it's your own fault for not keeping your virus definitions up to date. But also be aware that there are "joke" programs (probably coded by the very same teenager) that'll do exactly the same thing. In which case find out who installed it and tell them to get rid of it, or go to bed without dinner.
