Mouse vertical movement Problem

[dasprakash]

Hi,
I have a PC with WIN XP and Windows 98 dual booting. The Mouse in this
System is Behaving erratically. The Horizontal movement is fine and
Normal but the Vertical movement is very problematic. Sometimes it
stucks sometimes it moves. It happens in both 98 and XP.
Can anybody help me please. It is driving me Nuts. I have tried
formatting and Installing from Scratch but with no help.

For More Information
PIII 733Mhz with Intel 810E Motherboard. No external graphics card
installed. Mouse is Microsoft Serial Mouse. Graphics driver is Standard
Intel Provided Graphics Driver.


Thanks for any help or suggestions

The hardware may have failed. The driver may be incorrect.

Have you removed the ball and cleaned the rollers?

Hi,
I cleaned properly and tested again. Same problem.
I cannot understand sometimes it chokes and many times you cannot move
the mouse certically.
I am really frustruated with the Mouse. I have tried with another
Serial mouse. It also showed same problem.
Thanks in advance for any further help!!

That is a rather odd symptom. Perhaps the "hardware acceleration" of the
video adapter needs to be reduced. (Display Properties, Settings,
Troubleshoot, move slider a notch or two to the left and apply, then use
for a while)
