My (MS) wireless mouse began acting flaky last week, in that it wouldn't respond to my "clicks" properly. Sometimes it required the simultaneous pressing of both sides of the mouse in order to activate my desktop icons. Some times after clicking on a desktop icon, the mouse would not respond immediately, but would respond after a few seconds. Sometimes it just won't respond... period.
I ran both Adaware and Spybot to clean out obvious malware which didn't seem to help. I changed the batteries in my wireless mouse which didn't help. I shut down my computer and then restarted, but that didn't help. My anti-virus program is AVG 8.0 and is updated every other day.
My operating system is Windows XP. I updated to Service Pack 3 a few days ago and following that update my mouse worked perfectly. I thought the problem with my mouse was solved. Now, after some days have passed, my mouse is again acting flaky.
Should I return to a conventional "wired" mouse set-up? Is there another area left to be diagnosed? What gives?
