1.	Solve : whacked out mouse??
Answer» ok, so i'm using an old pc, win 98 , 512 ram, not much , but it works.. but sometimes, randomly, my mouse ( ps2) goes crazy.. when i try to move it, it moves in its own direction, opens RANDOM files, moves my tool bars, other stuff.. and the only way i can get it to quit is restarting i've ran anti virus ( avg) a few times, and it doesnt find anything.. do i just need a new driver, or what?What do mean it opens random files? Does it look LIKE it is being remotely controlled? Also, try another mouse.no, not really being controlled.. and if i TURN off my net, it still does it.. it just clicks on random spots on the desktop dont have another mouse, but u think i need a new one? tried cleaning this one, doesnt seem to do muchIf it just randomly jumps around a lot, I would recommend getting a new one. Also do you know exactly what kind of mouse it is?UM.. dunno.. two button microsoft mouse, offwhite.. thats bout itThe only thing I can think of is the mouse itself, when you can, get a new mouse and test it out.Quote um.. dunno.. two button microsoft mouse, offwhite.. thats bout it That is an old one. A repacement is pretty cheap. Why not borrow SOMEONE's for a while and taking it for a test drive to see where the problem is?if it is an old mouse as is the pc the unscrew the ball and clean the rollers as dirt or verdigrease gets rolled into the mouse as you use it. there should be a large round flange twist that of the ball will come out then you will see the two wheels, an spirit or alcohol cleaner should do it.
