Have you tried another mouse yet? Even a cheap one might do the trick to isolate the problem to either hardware or software. Perhaps you could borrow one from a friend if you don't have them laying around. -rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of - Ron - Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Mysterious Mouse pointer - Please Help! My mouse M$ Intellimouse, installed as a standard PS/2 has been working perfectly for months. A few days ago it began behaving in a very jerky manner. Sometimes it will stop moving altogether to 30 seconds or more. Other times the pointer will just disappear and menus will open on the screen, persumably wherever the hidden pointer is. Then it will re-appear and work fine for a minute or so, then back to jerky. I also noticed that booting into the console and running MC, the pointer behaves the same way. So it doesn't look like a problem on X or KDE. I can't imagine what may have changed. I'd sure appreciate a suggestion or two. I can hardly use the system now. Thanks all... -- Cheers! -Ron
