its not your mouse that needs seeing to, it could be your pc need to be cleaned up , maybe you have too many programs running at the sme time and not enough ram. need to know more to solve the problem.

How much memory does your cpu have? 125m, 256m, 512m,... if any of these then your pc may be suffering from lack of brain power. It can only process so much info at one time. As in when you are moving your mouse, it is so busy with other things going on, that it can not keep up w/ the movements of your mouse. Like some of the others have said, press ctrl+alt+del and skim over the processes running in the task manager. If sort by user name, this will show you specific processes running under you name. Also look at the tab labled perfomance, if the bar is contanly above 40% this will confirm that to much is going on. you can search on the web for AVG Free and get their free virus scan, and spyware scanner. This will not fix everything by far, but if unknow things are running in the background this may eleaveat your problem. Try getting rid of programs that run upon startup, there should only be the bare minimum of these to reduce lose of memory. Hope that my rambling may help you.

at the beginning, the two Mac computers and abode windows computers are computers. computing device(laptop computing device) is a accepted term for a working laptop or computing device it fairly is designed for a million individual to apply at a time. clever telephones, pills, computers, and laptops are all computers even with the working equipment. As for the question: For equivalent pricing, high quality is equivalent between abode windows and Mac OS. video games are consistently designed for abode windows first and often (not consistently) Mac secondary. As for upkeep, in case you pay interest to what you do on line and use a respectable browser+adblocker+script blocker and don't do stupid crap, they are the two the two look after. Firefox+noscript+adblock plus(which I purely fairly use for stressful commercials, not all of them) and that i've got on no account had a virulent disease or malware undertaking. The couple situations I used IE (with abode windows 2000) I did have subject concerns....yet that became a crappy browser with none actual risk-free practices.

this could be caused by a LOT of things. most likely you have a spyware or virus infection. your best bet if it's freezing up very often is to boot into safe mode by pressing the F8 key as the computer is turning on and do a full system scan. also, check your startup items by going to Start -> Run, type msconfig and hit enter. disable anything that looks suspicious. it could also be caused by the machine overheating. check that all the fans are spinning. also, run diagnostics on your hardware. it could be bad ram, hard drive, cpu, etc...like i said, it could be a LOT of things

Maybe try a different USB port, or run spybot search and destroy or lavasoft ad aware.
You might want to press ctrl-alt-delete and go to task manager, and sort by the CPU column to see if something is using up too much CPU, as well, and terminate that application.
Good Luck

It's your computer not the mouse. You probably have a virus of some kind. Either call the manufacturer or take it to a computer repair shop.

How many programs are you running when this happen ? How much ram have you got ? I believe this is a lack of ram problem.
