My Logitec Mouse Is Pissing Me Off!

[sandman24]

:huh:

For some reason or other, my Logitec Optical mouse has developed a mind of it's own.
When I use it, and the pointer is moving, it will sporadically dissapear off the screen and I sometimes have to "Shift" the mouse for 20 seconds to make the pointer re-appear.
Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?

I went to the logitec site and DL and installed the newest drivers, still no fix.


thanks y'all

Edited: Sorry about the double post!

what os are you running?
if windows xp, you might want to try removing the mouse drivers.
the microsoft ones that come with xp are actually pretty good, and should be bug free

p.s. the title of this topic looks pretty funny when you see it on the main page :)

Also, what sort of surface are you using it on? Red or patterned surfaces tend to confuse the hell out of optical mice - I find they work best on a plain blue mousemat.

Cordless/batteries low?
If not don't know :huh:

if you are using the logitech mx line, dont use the logitech drivers.

just plug and play, and use the default microsoft drivers that windows will install...

if you want 800 dpi with these drivers, us this registry fix...

logitech mx series reg fix (http://www.xpclan.net/Articles/03/0/2/194814cb9b8a2cb03ed90d63d00a9f9b)

umm happens to me sometimes..

but mine is a cordless duo... mouse n keyboard from logitech

are you sure your mouse isnt far away from the reciever thing?
if its too far away then it does that.... or your batteries are low...
surface is also a problem... i tried using it on a rough book n it didnt work well... use a nice mouse mat

[TIBZ]

make sure the surface ur using is flat that means no cracks no dents and use a mouse pad that used to be my problem

[dingoBaby]

Also make sure the reciever isn't too close to your printer, speakers (especially a powered sub woofer), or the cpu. They are sesitive to interference from other devices.

Yeah, i'm having similar problems too. Check 'Snap To' isn't enabled in mouse properties (through Control Panel). This might be it.

While i'm here..... The problem i'm having is that i can't disable this 'snap to' rubbish. I had previously installed the 'mouseware' that came with my logitech mouse and tried out the option of snap to. Obviously, it's very, very irritating. Now though, it won't stop. My cursor will randomly jump across the screen.

I've uninstalled this mouseware; XP drivers are fine anyhow. In fact, i recently did a clean install of XP due to AV problems- still it persists. Maybe a point worth mentioning is that i'm on a dual boot 2000/XP. So, if anyone knows how to stop this i'll be most grateful.


Sandman24, hope you don't mind me jumping in your thread. Didn't see the point of two logitech mouse topics.......
