First I believed that dirty rollers were the main reason for jamming the ball and then that there is bad mouse cable, but after a while I found the real reason. There is two little pins (or tabs) in the bottom of mouse (outside). Or there was two little pins when my mouse was new. Nowadays there is only the places of pins. The pins itself have gone. (I think, they are somewhere around my table surface) And how did I repair this problem. I simply take a little piece of Scotch tape and 5 pennies coin (the smallest finnish coin) and glued it between the pin places on the bottom of the mouse. And my cursor was happy again... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ari Vaulo University of Oulu Dept of Information Pocessing Science Linnamaa SF-90570 Oulu Finland eMail: av@tolsun.oulu.fi ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Impossibles have two weeks delivery ------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------
