Mouse is messing up! Why?

For about 2 weeks now my normal 2-button PS/2 Microsoft mouse has been acting worse and worse.
When playing TRIBES 1, I will be fighting someone and the mouse will freak out causing me to look around like 360 degrees real fast,and uses both mouse buttons on its own usually getting me killed.... by myself.

Then while surfing the web my pointer will be stubborn on moving,it will freak out like my game and do everything at once usually closing all my windows,and jus recently causes pc to freeze where I cant even ctrl-alt-del. Oh and when it freaks it will cause the left button to act like the right for awhile.

Ive had it since I got my first pc a little over a year ago. I used to hit it real hard out of anger the first few months(didnt do it much ) when I was tryin to get Q3A to stop freezing(never succeded). I broke this little grey peice off from inside around that time but it worked up until now. I regularly clean the lintcrap off the little, black rollers so thats not it. Ive never changed my mouse drivers either....maybe I should?


Please help if you can!

Replace your mouse with a known good mouse,if the problems with your sytem stop you have your answer. Why use up an hour of two of trouble shooting time on a part that can be replaced inexpensively ?
 
Check to see how much space is free on your hard drive. I have found that PCs will do strange things when running out of space. Other than that I am not sure what your problem could be.

I will try to install my new,Logitech mouse later after I watch a movie. I was trying to see if ppl thought mayB it was my PC's fault not my mouse.

I have a 10gig hardrive and I have about half of it left.


Thanks for the suggestions 🙂
