Troubleshooting
The mouse works erratically
If the mouse pointer begins moving erratically across the computer display or becomes
difficult to control precisely, cleaning the mouse will likely improve its accuracy.
If you have an optical mouse, clean the mouse by wiping the bottom with a clean, damp
cloth. Make sure that the optical sensor is clean and free of debris.
If you have a trackball mouse, see “Cleaning the mouse” on page 45.
