My mouse seems to have developed a stability problem, I'm running Windows 2000, when I open an application such as word or other GUI type prog. the mouse gets very Jittery - unresponsive to movement &/or mouse clicks.
I've tried reloading the driver, I haven't loaded any new programs. first noticed problem when downloading with Grokster - now seems to be more frequent. (the mouse is a Logitech cordless - I've cleaned the ball & rollers & made sure there are no other radio / magnetic devices causing interferance).

Thanks in advance.

Try going into Task Manager mode when this happens and notice if memory and/or CPU load is very high. Note which applications are using a lot of the CPU. Exit these applications and see if that helps.

Are you accessing documents over a LAN? That could be busy and slowing you down.

Thank's for the help, but it turned out the reciever is actually acting up. Once I paced it in a different possition it was OK, It seems as if when the system was idle - the mouse worked OK, as soon as you open a few applications the mouse would slow down - untill I moved the reciever, then all was OK.
Thank you for your assistance
