Check your mouse IRQ for conflicts:
CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > DEVICE MANAGER tab > MOUSE (all tabs). Then on same screen, double click COMPUTER (at top of listing) > check IRQs. Also, can check: CONTROL PANEL > MOUSE > all tabs, then CONTROL PANEL >
ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS > MOUSE tab > SETTINGS.

Might also try opening your Mouse Control Panel while online and making some change (can even put setting back as it was), doesn't matter what, then hit "apply". this fixed a problem I was having in Netscape. Don't ask why or how, but it did. Go figure!!
