welcome aboard!
sounds like you have some custom button configurations for your mouse. What computer/mouse/OS are you using?

im using a an infer red mouses with a middle mouse button.

If your infra red mouse is jumping around the screen, then I would advice changing your mousepad. Take one without any fancy drawings as those tend to disturb the working of the mouse (although I didn’t know it could get that bad). A single colored mouse-pad or surface to place your mouse on should work best. If not, I would recommend trying a different mouse or checking the mouse configuration (in the configuration screen). :wink:

Hope that helps,

this should help u out a whole lot

Please answer my first question: what brand of mouse is it, which operating system are you using (winXP, OS X, Linux, etc), how fast is your computer, and what video card do you have?
