mouse problem

[Guest promicro]

Hi,

 

system Windows 2000 sp4 Pro:

 

all of a sudden my mouse started halting for a minute or so, or until I

tap it on my desk a few times. also, it will jump to other areas of the

desktop or just hop around. then it will behave for 15 or 20 minutes and

start again.

 

thinking it was the mouse I put a spare mouse and had the same problem -

then tried a wireless mouse; same problem, and decided it was a system

problem

 

I ran chkdsk /r and sfc but it did not help.

 

any suggestions ???

 

thanks, bob

Well I guess it's not a port problem...

it was just an idea I had that does not seem to be the case here.

Hopefully someone else will have a better idea.
