The only time I have ever experienced this problem is when my wireless blutooth was getting low on its battery charge, which why I have two. I keep one in the charger at all times.

The other time is when the mouse needed to be replaced. Crying or Very sad

Right now I have been religated to using my laptop for everything while I continue to recover from my surgery.

had something similar, twice , first one was easy to tell, because I was also having intermitant problem , with the scroll wheel as well and not allways at the same time. It was the mouse.
The second was spyware on my pc.

I am not 100% sure of this but I think it was CoolWebSearch. the problem was I removed with adaware it left reminents behind. even after I ran something called shredder still had problems. Spybot seach and destroy kept detecting it but couldn't completly delete it. I did eventually get rid of it but can't exactly remmeber what did it.

But if you have never had a browser hyjack, this may not probably your problem. The mouse problem is what I was left with after dealing with it.

both adaware , and symantec security suite could not even detected it. Only search and destroy.
