One of the weird changes to my computer, due to its recent "illness", was that the repaired unit has a creepy mouse.
Use the optical mouse to put the cursor on an icon or "button", and leave it for a moment, and it begins to creep away. Always toward the upper left. Curious. Maybe the mouse has a hole up there that I never noticed before.
Sometimes it becomes a chase. I put the moving mouse on a button and try to double click before the mouse escapes. Right now it is sort of sporting, but I think I should try to track down the "bug" that my "mouse" has caught before long. The game is afoot at present, but I fear it will become tedious before long.
For now the mouse is creepy
It is the cursor that moves, not the mouse. That would be even creepier.
ReplyDeletefeed that mouse some cheese get it fat so it don't move lol!
ReplyDeleteHummm, I have never heard of a creeping mouse. That is something new on me. Helen
ReplyDeleteHi Chuck. I'd check two things. Sometimes the optical mice (mouses?) get a hair in the little recess on the bottom, which causes the laser to constantly see a little bit of movement. Try blowing it out. Also, you may need to download an updated driver for the mouse from the manufacturer's website.

My computer suffered from the same malady. I would be holding it in my hand, and would go to click on something only to have it slip away and X me out of the program I was in. Frustrating. I finally bought a new mouse.
