Insane mouse

    Sometimes my mouse stops for a few seconds and then starts going again. And in extreme cases disappears and starts clicking everything like crazy then stops after a few seconds. Eventually the mouse stops working altogether and I have to use the keyboard to navigate. It's not that bad actually, the only thing you can't do is click on weblinks easily and access the tray icons.

    The mouse is the standard microsoft corded wheelmouse. So what to do now?

    Make sure that you have selected the correct mouse type in Control Panel.

    I've seen this happen when a mouse isn't recognised correctly.

    When I Had Linux Red Hat 8.0, I Was Messing Around With The Settings and Reconfigured The Drivers So That It Would Recognise The Wheel Button On My
    Mouse And The Pointer Went Crazy,Really Crazy, Check The Drivers.
