Hi Bill,
It could be either the mouse, it's driver, or most likely the
surface you're using the mouse on. Try a non reflective
surface and it should hopefully resolve that issue for you.

| Thanks for the quick reply Jimmy.
| I have uninstalled CloneCD and the game is up and running now. One problem
| that I have is that the mouse movement is all over the place. I have tried
| adjusting sensitivity and smoothness but it is still not very satisfactory.
| I have a cordless optical HP mouse and I was wondering if that could be the
| problem .
