Odd Mouse behaviour

See if the mouse manufacturer has a new driver - driver
problems are common after installing SP2 . . .

Good Luck !

They are all using the standard windows mouse driver. I did uninstall and
let windows re-install them though, with no luck.

You don't mention if you are running anti-virus and anti-
spyware programs. These are essential. If you're not
running them, do so, and keep them updated. Many good
programs are available for free. Search Google for free
versions of AVG anti-virus, SpyBot anti-spyware and
AdAware anti-spyware. Could be you have an unwelcomed
guest . . .

Good Luck !
