Mouse problems ?

[Puppie]

Hello all,

As from yesterday i started having weird happenings with my mouse/vista.

I start vista up and sometimes i cant select anything on start menu/taskbars altho i can interact with anything on the desktop.

A temp fix seems to be if i ctrl+alt+delete then esc but it happens again soon after.

Also when i am in iexplorer/firefox the mouse starts auto scrolling when i move it quickly, when this happens the mouse wont respond to anything outside the main window of explorer. If i then open my Bookmarks or run a mouse over a link they all open in new windows.

The mouse is a logitech cordless s510 with keyboard.

I have tried a wired usb mouse.

I have replaced the batteries.

I have rolled back the pc.

I have run AVG and Avast + Ad aware on full scans. All to no avail

My PC is a dell XPS 420.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nick

Have you downloaded the latest drivers for your KB and mouse from logitech.

Yes i downloaded the logitech drivers yesterday but they made no difference

The system has worked with no problems for about 12 months.

Try cleaning where the laser is for the mouse.

2 questions do you have sp1 installed and have you tried plugging the mouse into a front slot. Usually the rear slots are the best but my old mouse for some reason worked better in a front slot. ( Until I downloaded SP1 now it works in any slot).

Thx for the help so far guys, tried cleaning the mouse and installing it in the front usb and its still the same..

I have tried to install sp1 but it wont. It crashes at 21% all the time, i have deleted the downloads folder in windows but it still crashes.

Hi puppie,

Not sure if you are using windows update for SP1 but this download option normally works ...
