I assume you have already cleaned the rollers inside the mouse and the mouse ball; ensure your rolling surface/mouse mat is clean and the ball will actually roll on it!

If it is a mouse that needs a specific set of drivers - then download the latest from the manufacturers website

Is it a USB mouse? If so try an adapter to PS2. If that does't help toss it and get a new one. Opticals are going for $10 these days, Oh the miracle of China.

Bumpy mouse... Open the mouse ball housing (unscrew it), drop the ball out... There are 3 rollers inside - 2 long skinny black ones and a smaller white one. Use a pencil eraser and remove the 1/4 thick roll of junk off of the middle of the rollers. If that does not help, stock p on some 5 dollar track ball mice. Mice do fail as do keyboards and they are the most inexpensive thing you will ever need to purchase for a pc.

Good luck.
