Some of the problems I've seen mentioned here might be traced to the mouse
pad, not the mouse. If the mouse cursor starts
wanting to follow straight vertical or horizontal lines on the screen, it
might be because the mouse ball has caught a
thread on the pad, and wanted to stay on that thread. Or, the opposite
sometimes happens, the mouse pad threads have
become worn and smooth so that they don't provide enough friction to make
the ball move consistently. More often, though,
I've noticed that in my case, a combination of the 2 happens, causing
simply inconsistent mouse movement.
When I clean my mouse, I also take a soft brush and brush the mouse pad.
Sometimes I even dampen the mouse pad, and scrub
it a little, then let it air dry. If that doesn't work, I replace the
pad. I haven't had to replace my mice yet.
On a different note, I've noticed lately that when I send messages from
Netscape messenger, all the margins seem to be messed up. I don't know
why, but it's starting to bug me. At first, I thought it only happened
when I re-opened an outgoing message to re-edit it, thinking that it was
because when I first wrote it, that Messenger creates hard-CR's when it
first saves it, based on my word-wrapping preferences. Then, when it
opens it again, it wraps it to the window, then I save it, and it puts all
new hard-CR's in it again. Does anyone else have this problem, and know
how to solve it? If I can't solve it, it looks like I'll have to use a
different email program. I like those editors that have a function key to
reformat paragraphs, but Netscape doesn't seem to have one. I currently
have the preferences set to wrap outgoing messages at 74 characters.
Should I delete that?
