Another weird mouse problem

[martin_san]

Hmm, this is weird. Most of the times when I middle-button click a link in firefox (same problem in IE if I click a link) the screen starts wobbling up and down a couple of millimeters. Mightily annoying and wont always quit upon reloading the site. The menus and buttons on the top of the screen and the window bar at the bottom are still. Its only the page itself that wobbles like some old parkinson victim.
Any clues? Its an xpire usb optical mouse on a completely new system. I don't really suspect the drives since it works just fine everywhere else. Could be some plug-in of firefox's that is spooking?

wow...get a doctor...quick :lol:

could be a spyware.

Well, neither Nod nor Zonealarm seem to find anything so I hope it is clean.

You said the drives are new, did you mean the drivers are new?

Try to see in Task Manager, are there any suspicious services or applications running in the background ?

You think it could be that mouse virus that is more a pain in the ass than a actual threat?

I never said it's a virus.
If you know the actual threat, why don't you explain to the man. Maybe you can heal his ass too.

Sorry. Not in the business of healing asses. Just putting out an idea.

Problem solved :? It was firefox and a theme in styleXP that did not like eachother. If i removed the bookmark toolbar the wobbling stopped. Computers really are stranger than fiction...
