My 6-7 year old Microsoft mouse is finally starting to give me problems... While using the computer the mouse will register a 'right click' while I am not touching the mouse, and will continue doing it at random intervals.. it may happen 4-5 times in a matter of seconds or it will happen twice in 20 seconds. I've changed the channels on the mouse/receiver and it did not fix the problem, although now thinking about it maybe it has something to do with wire interference from the receiver to the computer.

Anyone have any ideas or have had this happen to them before?
