Q: My mouse suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and Right seem to move fine. Waht's wrong?

My mouse has suddenly started lagging when moving up and down. Left and right movement seems fine. in fact, it's perfect. I tried changing the tracking speed to no avail. it sped up the left and right movement, but "up and down" still remain sketchy. HELP!!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

    Ok... I feel like a dope. i jtust discovered that my mouse no longer works on my mouse pad! I tried using it on the regular desktop and it works fine. I knew APPLE wouldn't fail me! Or wait, now I have another problem... I can't use a mouse pad. I'm sure I will be posting soon, "How do I get these scratches off my computer desk?" Oh well. I guess there are worse problems

    Hi Torrence,

     

    You may have to suffer until you can get to your local artist's products store.   There you should be able to buy square metres of fine matt black felt (maybe in a shop selling materials too).   This makes an excellent and inexpensive base that looks good too.   Have used it for years.

     

    Lay it on your desk and hold it in position with some double sided sticky tape.
