Re: Sudden Abnormal mouse erratic behaviour

 

You really must learn to read a thread before exposing your complete and

total ignorance. I can honestly state that in the seven years that this

newsgroup has been in existence I've never come across such an ignorant

and clueless fool as yourself. If nothing else the sooner you get your

eyes tested the better for us all after which I would suggest a few

lessons in comprehension after which I would suggest a visit to your

friendly psychiatrist as you are clearly in need of his/her help.

 

Before you start calling others idiots you need to show that you aren't

one yourself and unlike you I at least have a record of helping those

posting to this newsgroup with problems, something you have shown yourself

to date incapable of doing.

You made no attempt to help in this thread. Your personal attacks are

getting more ridiculous. Shut down your computer and walk it to the nearest

dumpster and never go near one again.

[Guest Mike M]

Re: Sudden Abnormal mouse erratic behaviour

 

Eric,

 

Your post makes no sense but that comes as no surprise given the general

lack of intelligence and knowledge you normally display when posting to

this newsgroup. I made a comment to Mart about having a problem with my

mouse, Joan commented and then you went off on a limb and started making

your typically inane comments.

 

If you've got anything constructive to offer that would help the original

poster, and that would indeed be a first, why not post it in response to

the original poster. I'm sure they would be most grateful for your

contribution.

>Laser mice have neither balls nor rollers.

 

Nor lasers, AFAIK... they use LEDs, and sometimes these don't seem to

"range" well enough, so perhaps a true laser would be better?

 

If you ever had an optical mouse that is so "fussy" it has to run on a

sheet of plain white paper, you will know what I mean.

 

This is different to the "patterns on mouse pads distract optical

sensing" issue, in that these "fussy" mice are failing on surfaces

that are not patterned, just insufficiently reflective. Killers are

the top of a black PC case and glass-topped tables, but some will not

work on unscratched white formica.

 

Mind you, there's still a need to clean optical mice, because gunk can

build up under the hard sliding surface studs underneath the mouse.

When this happens, an attempt to move 1 pixel becomes a sticky jerk

between 0 pixels and 30 pixels.

 

It's not an onerous business, cleaning the undersurface to fix this,

but some smart-ass (prolly the same sort who wax lyrical about LEDs

not being lasers) may wave this at you when you deliver a new optical

mouse with the promise that it "never needs cleaning" ;-)

You're sure to hear "too little RAM", "XP needs 512M" (false), etc.

 

128M RAM will run XP OK, but it will be slow due to all the swapping.

Not all applications written for XP will work in 128M RAM.

 

So yes; more RAM would be better. I'd either add 256M (SDRAM) or 512M

(DDR/DDR2) or I'd replace your 128M with one of those and then add

your old 128M to another 128M or 256M RAM XP PC if you have one,

assuming it uses the same type of RAM.

 

But there are other things you can do...

- defrag, then set pagefile size to 512M (it's too low right now)

- if integrated graphics; CMOS Setup, allocate less RAM to this

- kill memory-wasters such as Fast User Switching

I'd suspect a duff switch within the mouse that is double-triggering.

 

Some contexts are always one-click, e.g. toolbars such as Quick Launch

That may be performance-related; see stuff about low RAM above.

By "blue line", do you mean the title bar? If so, this smells like

mouse double-triggering again.

An on-demand scan of "the whole system" done within that ?infected

system is not what I would call an exclusionary test.

trade as ASDA. Regardless few in their right minds would go shopping in

The founder of WalMart is one of Mr. Bush's buddies (from Texas) and He and

the family are worth billions now, thanks to buying for pennies from China

and selling for dollars in the US. The parking lots of their stores around

here, including Sam's Club, are filled most of the time, especially on

weekends. People don't seem to care where it comes from, as long as they

save money themselves. A good portion of them are spanish speaking also.

Simple.....we avoid shopping in WalMart. They (and those Krispy Kreme

donut stores) are not doing so well up here. We do NOT like spending

our money in blatantly American stores.

 

You refer to *spanish-speaking*......I will be more blunt and tell you

that the majority that shop in WalMart up here are from the West Indies

and India.

 

Btw......your Hispanic Witchhunt in the US is totally disgusting!! I no

longer watch any news on American stations for that very reason.

Can't help wondering who the 'we's are?

I was referring to the 'majority' of the people in general. There is no way

for them to be guided by 'your' principles, instead of their 'pocket book'

or 'wallet', if you will.

That 'wich hunt' you are referring to, is totally unbeknown to me, to the

contrary, they find more support here than other nationalities.

Soon we'll all be 'friends' anyway, just give it some time.

The *WE* people are those of us who do not like putting money in Sam

Walton's pockets. WE are called Canadians!! And you might be surprised

to know that there are other stores where people can get bargains and

such besides WalMart.

You may be Canadian, but you are definitely not speaking for all of them, or

the WalMart stores 'up there' would be empty, which I doubt to be the case.

Don't worry about me 'reading the paper' or 'watching tv', I'm living it

right here.

I'm not familiar with this news source so I can't vouch for its honesty or

impartiality but they did recently publish this:

 

http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/October2007/01/c6902.html

 

An excerpt from the above article: "Established in 1994 and headquartered

in Mississauga, Ontario, Wal-Mart Canada operates a growing network of 278

Wal-Mart discounts stores, eight

supercentres and six SAM'S CLUB locations. Since 2000, more than 100

Canadian

communities have lobbied or petitioned to have a Wal-Mart store built in

their

towns. Every week in Canada, Wal-Mart raises and contributes more than

$290,000 to Canadian charities. Last year alone, the company raised and

donated more than $15 million to charities across the country. Throughout

Canada, Wal-Mart employs over 70,000 Canadians and has been consistently

ranked one of the best companies to work for in Canada by international

human-resources firm Hewitt Associates and Report on Business Magazine. A

2006

Synovate survey showed that 80 per cent of Canadians with a Wal-Mart store

in

their community are glad we're there."

The article didn't mention that WE, the people of Peel and Mississauga,

stopped them from building a humungous warehouse at the Peel/Mississauga

Nor is it mentioned that they closed down a store to prevent it being

Hey.....they can sell all they want. I do not shop there. My choice.

My memory isn't bad, considering, it was your's in question.

You will not find any 'meds' in my cabinet.

How about a puff of that 'Peace Pipe'?
