mouse going loopy
My mouse has just decided to either zoom at the bottom left or top right corner - itkeeps doing this sporadically and I can't use the pointer while it's doing it - has anyone seen this before or know how toi stop it?
I have tried unplugging, re-starting - the extents of my ability basically! any help would be appreciated! ( if I can get back online to read them!)
Thanks in advance

If you are unable to do anything with the mouse, then maybe you should think about investing in a new mouse. Or you could try to re-install the mouses hardware on your computer. Do this by going: Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager. When you get there, search for the name of your mouse, it should be under Mice and other Pointing Devices. When you finished that, if it says you need to restart your computer, restart it. When you log back in it will automatically re-install the hardware and it should work. If it doesn't tell you to restart, don't worry about restarting. Just go back to control panel and click on the Add Hardware wizard. Just follow the step by step guide it gives and it will reinstall the mouses hardware. Or, if you are using a wireless mouse, you may want to try and reinstall the drivers. If this doesn't work then you need a new mouse
The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.

If your mouse has a scroller, turn it to 0 at the mouse control panel. Sometimes the culprit is the scroller...

a new mouse is probably gonna be the easiest thing to do, $10 gets you a non-loopy mouse.

There are two causes for such prblem one is it might be due to software for this you can simply reinstall mouse driver and 2nd cause is hardware problem for this you can check the slot where mouse pin is inserted shake this joint slowly and restart your computer.
