mystified Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have a problem with my mouse and I can't blame it on kde, Mandriva or Debian because it also happens in Windows. Acer Tech Support told me how to fix it in windows but I haven't tried because I haven't booted into windows in ages. This is what happens, when I click on something like a browser icon it will open up more than one instance of the browser. If I'm typing it will jump around the page but this seems to only happen in OO.org. If I move my mouse across something like My Controls it will automatically go there. Anybody have any ideas. It really is annoying. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) hi granmammie... buy a new mouse? a trackball would be better to minimize the possibility of having RSI (with your old age, brittle vampiric bones and dusty bloodless veins). if its a built-in on the laptop, buy a USB one. if this happens on both windows and linux then its either the mouse is already faulty or your mouse port is already having fits. you may want to try adjusting the mouse sensitivity if it helps. other than that, no idea. :) ciao!
