MOUSE NOT WORKING WELL
Remove the round thing on the bottom that holds the ball in and take the ball out. Wash the ball with soap and water. Notice the 3 rollers inside the mouse. They probably have crud (a computer term meaning crap) on them. Scrap it off so that the rollers are clean. Put the ball back in (dry it first) and replace the cover. Wow, works great now, huh
MOUSE NOT WORKING AT ALL
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the mouse and plug it back in.
Restart the computer.
Right-click the "My Computer" icon your Desktop.
In the menu that appears choose "Properties". Look in the "Device Manager" for "Mouse". (XP - open Device Manager by hitting the Winows key - the one with the win flag on it - and the Break key together)
If there is a yellow exclamation point beside it you will probably have to re-install the mouse driver (see here for driver installation or reinstallation for all peripharals)
If you have recently installed or re-installed hardware, especially a scanner, you may have an IRQ conflict (we are not going into that here - email me for this one)
