Every time i get on the internet...after a little time, i suddenly lose control of my mouse. it starts moving all over the screen, and Windows Explorer 6.0 gets minimized or closed. I tried Netscape 7.0 also, but the same thing is happening.
I seem to still be able to press Ctrl Alt Del and shut down my computer safely (or other programs), but other than that, i can't do much anything. My mouse is being commandeered. i have no idea what's happening. and i better finish off this posting b4 i get hit again.
