as a service tech, I see jumpy mice all time. 1) give your mouse a sedative - ritalin works well. 2) let your mouse run around at night (maybe buy a running wheel) 3) get a second mouse of the opposite sex but seriously - 1) mouse is on the way to failure - the mechanism inside depends on a sensor reading light and dark bars as a wheel turns - if it starts to fail it begins to act funny 2) hate to say it but logic board is the next possible culprit - try another mouse and see - I've had to replace logic boards with just this problem Seth Cohn - Ithaca NY - POB 671 - (607)272-2225 (eves) Mac Service Tech to The Stars and most major Planets "The Highest form of Service Is anarchy in the defense of one's Self"
