artist Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 The pointer is walking up to the top of the screen on its own?Also the screen is flickering when I scroll? (refresh at 75 - colour quality on highest)Any suggestions? It was all ok yesterday and I have changed nothing.I have done a virus scan, AdAware scan, defrag and disc clean up so far. Looked at the 'display' - seems ok. Also at the mouse settings - also same as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Have you tried a cold re-boot?Turn everything off and switch off all power (pull the plug). Then re-boot.Might work, might not but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Also try Start/Search and then type in Crazy mouse, if you find it uninstall it. It may possible show up in Add/Remove programs. There are idiots about who will download it onto your computer, I had it done on me once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 As you were everyone - I tried a couple of old mouses - it was fine with them. Got rid of the dodgy mouse - all seems well.
