Hi Friends!!!

My mouse's pointer keeps dangling vertically from extreme top to bottom of the screen. Sometimes it just rests at any of the ends of the screen and there is no response to the movement of mouse. The pointer stops I unplug the mouse from it's port.

There is no problem with the mouse as it works perfectly on other systems.

I had faced this problem earlier and reinstalled my system 2 months back and the problem got fixed. Now it has come up again. I fear there is some virus in any of my MP3 CDs. I have downloaded Norton's antivirus and scanned the system....that didn't help. I'm in process of trying the various virus removing tools on Symantec's site.

Please help!

The mouse works on other systems. Have you checked to see if the problem happens when you take a mouse from another system and put it on yours?
