Q: My computer mouse is acting funny. I scrolls up, down, and right fine but I have trouble dragging it left. I think it's the little ball underneath is lodged in the hole a bit. What do I have to do to fix it? (I can hardly get it to the continue button!!!) Sorry but i'm not MADE out of money and I really don't think that is neccesary if I can fix it.
A: Flip your mouse over and you should see a turn dial where the mouse ball is. Remove the cover and take the mouse ball out of the mouse. On each side of the mouse there should be 3 rollers for each mouse access. They are probably filthy and full of lint, dirt, and whatever else is in or around out computer. Take a fingernail or some sort of scrapping tool and gently rotate the rollers on each access and clean them off. You must do it to each roller otherwise the mouse will keep acting up. After that try it out. Should work much better. If that doesn't help, look on the internet to see if your mouse has new drivers for your operating system. Though I do agree with the other poster that it's time to move on to an optical or laser mouse, if you can get that one working why spend the extra money unless the thing is trashed.
