I'm not sure I can explain this problem but I'll try: When I click on something to drag it, the mouse drops it. Does that make sense? For instance, if I'm playing cards and I click on a card to drag it, it drops before I get it to the place I want it. Sometimes when I click on something, the mouse picks it up and drops it a couple times before it "latches" on, then, I can drag it.

I hope I haven't made this too complicated!

I went to the manufacturers' web-site and upgraded the software but it hasn't helped.

I am running XP and have a Logitech Marble Ball.

It's worked fine until lately...maybe I just need a new one?

If you can't borrow a mouse you know works correctly, go ahead and buy another. They're pretty cheap. Even if it turns out not to be a malfunctioning mouse (which it sure sounds like it is), you'll have a spare mouse that you'll be real glad to have some night...at 2 a.m...playing your favorite game...the mouse quits working. Ahhh...the memories.

Since two different mice (mouses?) do the same thing, it's does sound like a problem with something other than the mouse itself. Is it a wireless mouse by any chance? Or maybe USB? If USB, try plugging it into a different USB port. If wireless, it's possible something's interfering with the signal...older cordless phones can do that.

Of course, if it's neither wireless nor USB, that only leaves two things...software or operator.
