	At one time I was having trouble with my mouse not wanting to roll
in a particular direction (I forget which one).  I found that the little wheels
the ball rolls around on were wo caked with crud that it would not turn them.
After removing the ball, I simply very carefully used a sharp pointed knife to
scrape the line of stuff off.  after that it worked fine.  I don't know if this
is your problem but it sounds like a good place to start.
