it like it is stuck and i have to lift it up and put i down and it sticks when it is moving, it is like it's not getting a good grip. the pad is about 6 months old.. Is it the ball , the mouse pad or the mouse itself.

if its a ball mouse, remove the ball ( just unscrew the keeper) and clean the lint off the wheels... if its an optical mouse clean the lint off the eye

It may just just be dirty inside (where the ball is). There are little wheels on either side of the ball that get gunk on them from the mouse pad. Try cleaning them and see if that works. Mine does that every so often.

Look the ball of the mouse. There are some little arrows there. Take ball out and clean it wtih denatured alcohol. Also mousepads get dirty and need to be replaced. I finally bought trackball . . . no mousepad is needed!

get rid of the balll mouse and get an optical mouse.
go to staples and ask them about them if u dont know what an optical mouse is.
it uses a laser instead of a ball which is more sufficent. u can use it on any surface.

have you checked the inside of the mouse pad? it usually picks up all the sticky stuff.
Make sure your mousepad cable is not being pulled. make sure it is free.

Open the round thing on the bottom, take out the ball, and clean it.

It could be the food you are feeding your mouse?

1) it is a Dell optical- they have been known to do this
2) your system is overloaded or running other programs like a virus scan
3) you may have an active virus sucking up system resources
4) you have a slow or under powered system
