Mouse Problem..

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Hi

I am having a problem with my mouse and possibly IE. First, I periodically
get shutdown from AOL. Then when I restart, I get a message that reads
Windows does not detect a mouse PS/2. Then after repeated reboots i am able
to get past that message and logon. After maybe a few minutes online, my
screen goes nuts with the pointer moving around on its own and almost all the
taskbar links poping open and my whole screen is filled with windows opening
and closing independently. Has my mouse, browser and computer been hijacked?
i have hijack this. I can't determine what that is contained in the
hijackthis scan is a possible problem. Also, could it be something I am
missing when I run a virus scan-nothing found and I run registry
Mechanic--problem still there. Whats wrong?

Have you tried a different mouse? Certainly sounds like the first step.

A mouse point moving left/right, up/down about the screen can be a hardware
problem association. This is usually a video card associated problem. When
its associated with opening applications/tasks, it is probably not a
hardware problem, but can be.

Windows normally looks for a PS/2 mouse upon windows boot. But, you never
indicated what type mouse you're using. That is, PS/2, USB, or serial.

Shutting down from AOL means what? Does the PC freeze and force a hard boot
(PC's physical power button or reset button)? Or, does the PC shutdown to
dead in the water by itself?

Does the PC open applications or tasks when not attached to the internet?

What event eliminates windows not displaying lack of finding a PS/2 mouse
during your multiple reboots? Are you doing anything to foster this?

I have a PS/2 mouse Logitech brand and it is about 5 yrs old. When it
shutsdown my AOL just closes and usually it precipitates the windows and
taskbar opening all over the screen--and it shutsdown as though i am logging
off by click--but it is done without my assistance. Yes PC opens
applications when not connected to internet. As for being able to reboot and
logon after these events, I just continue to reboot until the "windows does
not detect" message does not appear. Also, I sort work the ball on the mouse
around a bit. Don't know if this have any true affect or not on everything
returing to normal However, when computer does seem normal it does not last
long. And I start that process all over again.--Thanks!
