I had Windows XP Pro with SP2 with Windows 98 dual
boot installed on my system having 128Mb RAM, NIVDIA
RIVA TNT2 Model 64 graphics card, 40 Gb HDD and
Pentium 4 processor. I had a peculiar problem with my
mouse which has been labelled as Genius and installed
as PS/2 Compatible mouse. It used to run
automatically at times and close open documents and
files, drags items here and there, un-diddelete or
moving actions and almost everything a mouse is
capable of doing. During these 'Psysic Attacks', which
occured very frequently and lasted for a minute or so,
the mouse did not do anything if I didn't move it at
all but when i tried to move the mouse, it moved in
different directions and caused a lot of trouble
clicking and right-clicking here and there. I had the
latest versions of Ad_aware SE and Spybot and have
tried almost all the Spy-ware and Ad-ware removing
Utilities. I have also tried the trial version of
Norton 2005 and had Mc-Afee Virus Scan installed. But
the problem persisted. I also tried Pandasoftware's
online scan but all in vain. This problem persisted on
both of my oses.
Then i formatted the disks by backing up important
data and reinstalled Windows XP Pro and SP2. To my
surprise, the problem still persisted. Now, i have
SuSE Linux PE 9.1 but the problem is still there on
the Linux.
What kind of a problem is this? Now, I'm planning to
get a new mouse which hopefully solves the problem but
I just wanted to know if this will solve my problem or
do I have a problem on my VIA Tech Motherboard? Has
this kind of a problem ever been reported? coz I think
it is really strange!!
