Ellen, it's like you have a mouse problem. If you have another mouse, see if the same problem occurs. Check your mouse drivers and be sure they are the most current. Be sure your mouse is clean.

And if that fails, better start setting a mouse trap, cause you got one on the loose!

<grin>

Not sure what you mean Bridget... Today is the Power of Veto competition. The HOH competition is always live on Thursday night TV, immediately after the evictions.

Thanks for mouse-help hints, the driver seems to be the latest one microsoft has released for XP, and I clean mouse regularly due to parrot dust and cat fur. The whole system is new (May) including the mouse. It never happened on my previous computers. I was so sure it was deliberate html code! I'm thinking a little 'program' has crept into my machine. It only happens when I am on a web page (usually here at Clubhouse --lol). The problem with trying a new mouse is the long wait to see if it makes a difference -- I see this leftward move only rarely -- on a really busy web-surfing day, maybe twice. Of course, I may not always notice it, too. I'll keep searching....

Ellenkats: It really could be something as simple as: Make sure your cord isn't tangled, or otherwise obstructed in such a manner that, when you 'physically' release the mouse, it moves a little. You might also check any settings for acceleration? Also, check to see if you have an option checked for the mouse to move to a dialog box or something like that. I pesonally use a trackball so don't have any way to try to duplicate the problem. Just some thoughts, FWIW.

Dra -- thanks -- but cord is free. This cursor slide is a deliberate thing, I'm sure, like a program. The cursor moves fast in a right to left straight line covering at least three inches (I have 19" monitor). I even noticed the whereabouts on screen it occurs, if you divide monitor into squares (like the quad live feeds) it usually (maybe always) occurs when the cursor is parked in the lower right quarter. It doesn't occur in form boxes, usually it's in a blank and unused area of a web page. That's why I thought it was html code -- that when the cursor is in certain area it trips some program that slides it right to left really fast. I'll keep troubleshooting.

Ellen... what kind of mousie are you using? Is it optical or no?

Ellenkats

Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 01:57 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Classic ergonomic Intellimouse with wheel scrolling -- same as the last two or three I've had. But I think this is software/cursor prob -- not hardware. Of course, I've been wrong before, too many times to count....

What browser are you using?

It's also entirely likely you have a defective mouse, or a corrupt mouse driver. Try to uninstall and reinstall your mouse drivers and see if that works. Go up to microsoft.com and download their latest drivers...

I gave up on the classic Intellimouse a while ago. I've got the Intellimouse with the optical eye. I love it. I'm sitting here cross legged on the couch, and my mouse works just fine on the couch fabric (which is rough).

I use MsIE
I feel bad now I drew so much attention to the prob -- it happens so infrequently. lol I guess it's just bugging me, yannoe? I like to know the hows and whys of everything.

Wow. How weird is this? My mouse started acting all nutty and I went out and bought a new about an hour ago.

Must be some mouse bait sprinkled somewhere that is making our mice psychotic.

LOL, WCV. That, or some funky mouse virus!

And great visual... psychotic mice!

I was under the impression that the HGs were not allowed to have books, but I believe I have seen on the shows Jason reading his Bible, and I thought I caught a quick glimpse of Roddy reading a book on tonight's broadcast. Are my eyes deceiving me, or are they each allowed something to read?

Dfwteddy: They are allowed to bring a bible or other religious book only. Last year someone brought in a book about Buddism.

Finally, today, I found out what "bump" means! Now there's one more that's bothering me...

What is FWIW? Thanks!

Also...everytime I go in chat, the room is empty. Any suggestions? I know something is wrong, but I have no idea what to do! (Just call me Josh!!!)

Firstsnadra1: For What Its Worth

Chat rooms are usually busiest around the time of the shows...you might try then...FWIW

ooooooh! haha..thanks Draheid! thus ends my confusion! Well, except for the entire scheming of the show, which I can't keep straight!

I developed a headache -- possible being on computer too long, but I prefer to blame it on all the BB twists, turns and HG dramatics....

First.....most people don't start showing up in chat til about 5pm Pacific time. We're sometimes there til 1 or 2 am pacific. Show times are usually busiest, though this week we're a bit off our normal schedule.

Drop by sometimes.....we have a blast!

bump, just because we have had a couple threads started that could have been answered here with one post.
