need help

my mouse is going crazy, it goes all over the screen and has all the pop up menus going all up.anyone have any idea what it could be.i thought it may have been a virus but scanned pc 2x and it didnt show any virus. last thing i installed was directx 8.1 2 weeks ago and it ran fine. this just started last night,and hope i dont have to reformat...any idea's?

I have a Logitech optical mouse that would not respond properly sometimes after reboot. To get the mouse to respond properly I would have to repeat the reboot.
I never found a valid reason for the instablity which occurred in WinME and WinXP.
After updating to the latest Logitech mouse driver the problem has not reoccurred.
Have you tried reinstalling your mouse driver?

hey, thanks for the help guy's.. it has to be a fualty mouse,i reformated and the problem is still here i thought it was the direct x8.1 .but i know it is the mouse if you shake it around a bit it starts doing all that crazy stuff again..all programs popping up . i'll try to get the intellimouse explorer, does it use track ball or optical..im not really sure if i would go with optical mouse..

Looks like you got my post just a fraction too late! Ahh well... The Explorer is optical, and it has4 buttons and a scroll wheel. You might think you wouldnt use these buttins, but after using them for a couple days, you cont live without them. I'm a gamer, and the optical technology rocks! No more cleaning out my mouse every 2 or 3 hours. Go optical! It Rox!

All things must surely have to end...
