I have had similar problems with USB mice connected to the PS2 port via an adapter
- they just seem to be flaky! If this is the case with your setup, try using the
mouse plugged into a "proper" USB port. Cats are a problem! Mine will insist upon
sitting on the mouse mat, on the keyboard, on top of the (old bulky) monitor while
draping their tail in front of the screen etc :-) Consider investing in a UPS - I
swear by mine. Cheers. Spexx.
