Certain this goes here.
Anyway lately I have been having a mouse problem where it just seems to lock up when I am playing games. Let me explain:
Okay this started urm Sunday/Monday (Around the storms hit our area). I was playing Oblivion right (Haven't played it in ages until last week) and then all of a sudden the mouse stops working, it won't move or click or anything, I have a mpusepad so it won't work. And when I exit out of Oblivion it still wouldn't work until I restarted the computer.
First I thought perhaps it was because of Oblivion but today it happened with Dungeon Keeper, I was playing it for like an hour or two before it just stopped working but worked after restarting. (GTA: SA doesn't seem to have this problem thought, but I barely use the mouse for that).
But see, when I am writing a story (Like a 1600 page one) it doesn't stop workinbg, it works fine. And I went to control panel and checked but it said the mouse was working properly.
I also checked to see if it was out in the back but it was still in.
So what do I? It's more likely needs to be replaced ut before I spent 30$ I wanted to know if it could be fixed (It's Christmas, so I am saving for presents and everything, the mouse will have to wait for two weeks). Also the red light still on so I don't get it.
Some other things that might or might not be invovled:
I had the mouse since I got the computer, probably between 2000-02.
The mouse has fallen off the edge and hit the floor by accident or hung off the edge.
When it started happening there was a storm, we also had a blackout but it happened before the storm (It was a bad one too), also two other storms during the week.
Sometimes even when I turnthe computer off (Not on standby or anything) the mouse's light is still on.
So any ideas? Or do I need to get a new one?
