Scott, I was very interested in your comment here. Where did you get it from? I have never heard it before so I tried it. I have an optical mouse and it is rock solid when you shake it. Now those with a ball will 'usually' jiggle a little because of the ball moving against the contacts, is that what you meant? Not all mice just those with a ball? Thanks, Bob McLellan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott McNay" <wizard@xxxxxxxx> > If the mouse seems to be frozen, shaking the mouse should cause the > pointer to move slightly. > --Scott. -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
