Sticking Mouse/ Cursor ????

[Deep C]

Ok I'll describe the problem in english then Flat can answer in Flatbottomese...

My mouse or at least cursor is hanging up in certain places on my screen. Not your usual dust in mose and ball not rolling right stuff byt like hanging either dead center or at the top of the right column...
I tooke the mouse apart and de dusted and cat furred it That doesn't seem to be the issue. I found that when it started yesterday I could un"lock" it with a hit of the enter button. Today though its now taking an up or down arrow? ANy clues?

And Flat when you answer please try english... I have no clue what the framistam linear cp linkage is...

sometimes i have that issue, most times when i have a problem, the pointer travels my itself to the top of the screen.

Deep C, I've had that problem a few times but I don't remember how I used to fix it

If you're still using a "ball mouse" I recommend you to buy an optical mouse. They're pretty good.

some times the drivers have a file over written with new sloppy code or vice versa. go to device manager and delete the mousey.....reboot and let winders find it.......make sure you have good contact in the serial port or ps2 port (which ever you have)....if you have not loaded new software in a while than it might be a dead mousey . Norton was notorious for rewriting shared files.........good thing vista is locking the kerrnel and forcing vendors to write good code this year....no more hooks in the kerrnel code.....thank god....can you say less backdoors !!!!!

im telling ya right now, flat is in a deep concrete bunker some where, in charge of the star wars project, im telling ya, im telling ya.

its a cheap bunker about 13 courses deep. temp stays relatively mild down here though

Back in the old days when I used to handle that kind of stuff holding the ctrl key along with the letter m would usually reset the mouse. Not sure if it still works, but it used to. It especially worked well on laptops when you get the cursor that wants to travel up to the upper left!

A gazillion promotions later, I can hardly load my own paper into printer, so who knows if it still works

I think deep is laying upside down while surfing the site........... using the mouse on his knee

[Deep C]

As predicted... Flat you really came through on this one... With that I think I will just think about it...
