All of a sudden the mouse won't work correctly. It will move up & down, but not side to side. I have cleaned the ball and don't know what to do, short of buying a new one.

Please help.

If it is a roller version, then just check the up and down roller if you work in a really slow help desk job.

If it is a optical, just give up, ain't worth the time and braincells

For some reason I do not know why, my computer was reading a "joystick" instead of the mouse. I noticed that when I started it up that a message popped up that it "found new hardware." I don't know why it did that. But I removed the "wingman" I had for about 2 months and then removed the joystick and the mouse worked fine.

I don't know why this all happened. If you have any ideas, I would sure like to know why.

Thanks,

LB
