Wandering mouse

"It isn`t frozen, it gets stuck for a couple seconds...Sometimes it will open up new tabs by itself. Floats all over the place!"
Needs a cleaning? Check the connection too.

"Sometimes it changes from an arrow to a thing that looks like a bell."
Sounds like something funny may have snuck in.

It sounds like you went to: Control Panel > Mouse and Pointing Devices
Windows Default (system scheme) Is standard.

Try running Glary, there may be a funky bit of something left over corrupting the drivers.

Uninstall / reinstall:
Reinstall PC mouse drivers. In Windows, open "Control Panel" then "System." Select the "Device Driver" tab then scroll to and select your mouse. Uninstall any drivers that are listed. Unplug the mouse then reboot the PC. Reboot the system again, plug the mouse back in, then allow Windows to reinstall the drivers if prompted.

Thanks!

I`ll start with Glary. That I do on a pretty regular basis. Glary always finds something.

Then will move on to the rest.

Updates at 11:00.

And???

.............tests are inconclusive at this time..............yet it seems a little better..........

thank you for caring & helping as you always do

must confess until the other day I hadn`t allowed SAS to download updates in awhile.

Mostly b/c doing so caused me to have to re-boot afterwards.

Readers Digest version: I think SAS helped the mouse from having free will over my pc.

Is it possible that SAS helped??????

SAS?

A re-boot never hurts.

no, re-booting doesn`t hurt too much

NEW MOUSE!!!

My 12 year old mouse was just too tired. I got a new Rosewill RM-P2P 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel PS/2 Wired Optical 800 dpi Mouse from NewEgg for $8.98 delivered in 6 days.

No ball to get icked up and the switches are new.
