Hmm well if you are getting the same effect on either button (but only when switching the button functions), that suggests a driver or possibly an OS issue. A new mouse may or may not fix the problem.

Any computer store or big-box will have lots of good mousies for good pricies.

I'm still using the mouse I picked up back when Circuit City was still in business. Five buttons, built in charging cradle, all for #25. Unfortunately they don't seem to be made anymore, but there are lots of good deals here, of course:

What's worrying me now is I'm starting to get the occasional cursor jumps as well.

Circuit City. A blast from the past, like Comp USA and Computer City.

I'll likely go to Frys.

Your mouse seems to have elements of some hypochondriac tensile,

refrain from alcohol when using your mouse.

Bought a Logitech MX518 optical mouse today and installed it. Everything is back to normal.

Guess I'll take the old mouse out back and shoot it.

A still picture is all I can manage. Guess I'll be calling the taxidermy man with a very small job.

BTW I noticed the computer mice in the store today didn't have fur. What's up with that?
