mouse and login problems by Th3rmal on 01-05-2007 at 06:42 AM

well firstly my mouse recently has started to jump all over the place when im using it and randomly click places. its like ive got the crazy mouse program on (but i dont...). and also sometimes when i log into my account it log in fine but when everything is loaded it automatically goes to screensaver.

anyone have a fix for these problems?

Is your mouse wired? I recently bought a w/less mouse from the local computer shop, it's not a well known brand, probably doesn't sell well, so doesn't have enough money for research into the drivers :undecided:. Every once in a while it decides to be quite stubborn about where I want it to go.*-)

Check your screensaver timer settings (the number of minutes till the ss activates). Might be set to 1 minute for some reason. Assuming it takes one minute to load up all your stuff after login.

As for the mouse, try updating the drivers. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the optical lens on the bottom of it. That being done if your mouse is optical, of course :)

So it actually clicks on stuff, even though you're not pressing the buttons? O_O

yep, it sometimes goes so crazy that it keeps going up and down on the side of the screen randomly/repeatedly clicking for itself.

its set to 12 minutes and i dont think i can update the drivers as it isnt a well known brand , i dont think...
