I recently purchased a new mouse. It's a cheapie and came with no driver. With this mouse, though,
whenever I pop an audio CD or CD with a game in the CD-ROM, my mouse either becomes from very erratic in its movements (very
halting) or in the case of audio CDs freezes entirely. The only way to get my mouse back is pretty much to reboot my machine with
the CD drive empty. The mouse then functions as usual. I reinstalled Win 95 but it hasn't mattered. Do I need a new driver although
the mouse installed correctly without one and didn't come with one?Do you have any ideas that are causing this conflict? Running Windows 95 with 133 processor and 32 Megs of RAM.
Thanks,
Dennis
Get a good mouse, a cheap one is just that. Get a PS2 mouse which will free up a port, and comes with software and drivers. Or go into the Device manager and see if the mouse and cd rom are both using the same resources, if so the mouse will have to be changed. Bruce

After installing Windows 95 the Mouse has started to work erratically. After about 10 minutes the mouse pointer jumps around the screen and is difficult to control. drop-down menus open by themselves. Cycling the power on the machine resolves this but it occurs again after 10minutes or so.
I have looked in the device manager and there appear to be no conflicts. Help!

I have this too and I've tried reinstalling the mouse drivers, removing the com ports in device manager for detection upon bootup, bought a new mouse, changed the serial port and cable, attempted to access from a different port, as well as reinstalling Window 98 after reformatting (two times). No results at all--it no longer even recognizes the mouse anymore. If someone's got a solution please email me. Thanx...

i have a ps2 intellipoint mouse. the problem is that sometimes the left button inputs a double click even though i've only clicked once. i cannot reliably reproduce this problem either. is there a way to fix this without buying a new mouse?

I too have had the same problem. It seems to have went away for a time, but recently has started acting up again. Here's something i came upon that seems to fix the problem:
Look on the bottom of your mouse for a switch. The switch on mine is marked MS/PC. (Mine is a cheapo Micro Innovations mouse) Supposedly in the MS position the computer recognises it as a Microsoft mouse, and in the PC position it acts like a plain generic mouse.
I noticed when i flipped it to PC, the mouse stopped jumping. I may have accidentally moved the switch while cleaning the mouse a few days ago. It was acting fine, but only started acting a few days ago. I've had similar problems in NT, so this may indicate the problem lies with the hardware rather than just with Windows.
Try it out and post here if it works (or doesn't work) for you.

I have the same mouse-double-clicks-when-I-single-click problem. Also when dragging with the left button sometimes it releases the drag when I haven't released the button.
It too is a MS IntelliEye mouse...
