I generally only buy logitech. The cordless optical i bought was not cheap, i had no time lag problems, but it caused my puter to freeze, turn off and other weird crap *L* So i'll just stay away from cordless completely on this puter. On a new one, if it happens *sigh* i'd happily go cordless.

I do prefer the optical meeces to the ball type anyway, so that is more than likely the type i'll replace with. The one on it is a Compaq optical mouse, and it has been brilliant upto the scrolly thingy crapping out, mind you it came with the puter originally and has had LOTS of use *L*

Can you believe this? :banghead:

$91.00 for a used trackball and 'reserve not met'

This is Fangtasia using Bilbo's puter.

Fucken mice!! Bought a new mouse, put it on, now my puter gets to a blue screen, and stops. Ya wait and eventually it shuts down

Fuck fuck fuck! I have no patience for the bitchin'thing at this time, so dunno when i'll get back!!

Well i'm still on Bilbos puter :(

Ill drop by using his when i can, as honestly we cannot at this stage figure out wtf my puter's prob is!

VERY frustrating

Write down the blue screen message I might be able to help you

There wass no message on the screen hun, just a plain blue screen it gave me

I got home from work today to the puter working again, so Bilbo must have figured it out *L*

Well the fucker is still not running right. Apparently Bilbo didn't touch it, it just decided to work, and did so til just now.

Puter just shut down in the middle of surfing, tried to restart, got the dreaded blue screen, then black screen. Finally i can hear and see the puter still working, then it shuts down!!

Honestly i'm sooooooo over it.

:fix: hit any key to continue.

All this and more is the reason I lovingly call them the blasted boxes from hell!!

You were just having too much fun at Pixies and your puter wants to make you appreciate it more. ;)

I've commandeered Bilbos puter *L* So i can still pop in.

Mine is still being a bastard though, i've tried to start it 3 times this morning, no luck!!

So far, so good. The Dell mouse is behaving.


I just know that soon it's gonna be crawling off the desktop, raiding the fridge at night for cheese, & scurrying behind the baseboards at night...pass the DeCon...

Get a cat. They're great micers.

I missed what you said about the blue screen when I first read this thread. Several months ago, my 'puter did the same thing. I ended up having to reinstall everything including windows. Have you tried that, yet?

I'm back on my puter, it finally restarted, so am busy copying stuff i dont want to lose off onto disk, incase the damn thing decides to do it again!

I did a reinstall only a few months ago, so i'm thinking its not a software problem
