Topic: Annoying Mouse Problem

[Big_Boss]

As the title suggests i have a mouse problem. The problem is with the scroll wheel. When im using it to scroll down, it scrolls a few lines and then goes up one, and then down a few more and so on.

Has anyone has this problem or got any suggestions about how to fix it? Im sure someone has bound to have had it before.

Thanks

Yup, I've had exactly the same problem. However, I didn't solve the problem, my mouse did by breaking and forcing me to replace it

Without knowing what mouse you have etc its difficult to solve the problem, but you are likely to have some software that controls its functions. I'm guessing, but I suspect that you need to adjust the sensitivity of the scroll wheel.

I hope someone can give more positive advice

Try reinstalling or updating the drivers BB and then as Bat suggests look in the mouse properties and set the scroll at the speed/no of lines you want and see if that cures it

Ill go look out the floppy driver disk the now  

See if that fixes it.

Just reinstalled the drivers and restarted but no luck  

Its a Chic 1330 http://www.chic.com.tw/optical_mouse1.shtml as you requested bat  

Not sure what to try now

Big_boss your mate Robotochan was here on the weekend with another problem with a Chic mouse.

He eventually solved his problem by hitting the mouse on the desk

I don't know, perhaps these Chic mouses respond to violence

Do you have any controller software on your PC ... in 'programs' or you may be able to access it through "Control Panel"

If you do, you could try adjusting the sensitivity of the scroll wheel .. change the line rate etc  ... worth a try

[Big_Boss]

Hmm think ill try reasoning with it first. If it complies alls well, if it doesnt then.... who knows what could happen  

I wont be help responsible 8)

[Big_Boss]

Yeah it comes with some software which is basically what appears in control panel, ive been fiddling about with it and it doesnt seem to be gettiing any better. Infact think it might be getting worse...but that could be my brain playing tricks on me

I wonder if they just wear out after a while?  I tend to try to keep the bottom of mine clean, especially the sensor, or it starts playing up.  Perhaps there's some dirt in the wheel?

[Big_Boss]

Could be i suppose, dunno how the heck im gonna get it out though if it is  

[bat69]

Try looking at this article there is a section part of the way down about flickering

Are you using the mouse as PS/2 or USB?

Try blowing hard at it    lol    well I actually use compressed air in a can with a flexi nozel for those hard to reach places    but I've found that to be a useful piece of kit for both musical instruments, amplifiers and computers, so I tend to have it handy

It looks very similar to my Typhoon optical one BB.Have you set it as a 3 button or 5 button mouse and have you got the options for each one set correctly?
Cant think how you could set the wheel do do as you describe but it may be something as silly as that  

[Big_Boss]

Its a PS2 mouse bat

Read the article but i dont have half of those settings  

Its a 5 button mouse and i think thats how it is set up.
