Using Windows 98:

I have a mouse problem... when I move the mouse left to right really fast,
it responds erratically. It all started when I tried this stupid no name
brand optical mouse.

I need to reinstall the mouse drivers but forgot how. I tried deleting the
drivers in device manager... but no luck. It still moves funny.

I vaguely remember last time I used the Windows 98CD to replace the mouse
drivers on the system, but its been a long time and I cant remember how.

Can anyone help?


Thanks

Sounds Like a good clean is called for, debris, fluff inside blocking the
sensors.
Open it up and give it an internal.

This is normal for an optical mouse. Especially for older ones using older
optical technology (ie. not dual optical, etc.) Solution : replace with
non-optical mouse or a higher end optical mouse.

I tried a non optical mouse, but still not working. This problem became so
bad that I had to reload an image. Things are better now.
