My PS/2 mouse problem :(

for some time now i boot up the computer and every other time the mouse works, i now use a usb keyboard and before when i had a ps2 keyboard it was that that wouldnt work, sometimes the mouse wouldnt work and when i restarted with pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice and tabbed to the shutdown in the box that came up when it was time for windows to let me log in my keyboard wouldnt work and i had to use the mouse to restart, eventually the mouse and keyboard would work together after a few restarts using this method.
well now i have a usb keyboard and it works all the time so the mouse now works every other boot or reboot, i am guessing maybe i should of gotten a usb mouse along with the keyboard but the keyboards that came with mice together were kind of ugly and small so i got the Gigaware usb keyboard, plus four of the five usb slots in the back of my computer are currently being used(one for this keyboard, one for my gigaware headphones, one for my webcam, and one for my printer) the only one empty is the one connected to the D-link Bracket thing that has the four lights that light up a certain pattern to tell you if any problems, i had my ipod shuffle hooked up to it once recently and when i opened or restarted my computer nothing would load up, really not sure why so i dont leave the ipod shuffle connected to my computer, just that time to test it because i just got it not too long ago, been trying to resolve my computer issues so no time to do anything with it lol
so back to the main issue....my mouse works but every time i restart it doesnt or if i start up my computer it doesnt work and then when i restart it then it works. I have searched for the passed month with google looking for similar issues with this mouse problem and i have seen a few people with the same problem but no solution, i personally will be getting in more detail than any of these people have been in those forums i have visited.
so i have tried a few different things to try and correct this problem and none have worked so far. I have looked in the BIOS for any setting related to the mouse and have found nothing, i have uninstalled the mouse in Device Manager and restarted my computer still with the mouse being detected and sometimes not until reboot
the last thing i did was most interesting to me, i had my computer shut down and thought to try and see what happens if i have no mouse physically installed so i unplugged it and turned on my computer and when the screen came up for me to log into windows there was the pointer in the middle of the screen just the same as the times my mouse would be frozen and i need to restart to make it work.
now further into my observatory skills hehe i happened to eventually get really curious at the boot up screen after the detecting of my drives and before the microsoft windows logo and i got more near to what i think is causing this mouse issue yet i dont know how to correct it, i pressed Pause/Break to read what was there because it was to fast to read in the first place and i finally notice it is PCI listing devices and there is a list of devices and IRQs that each one is using, before all that though i noticed in my readings that the mouse IRQ was 12 always and this part of the screen that i saw really confused me was that after many tests i noticed that each time the mouse didnt work i had seen when i froze the screen to read that IRQ 12 was being used by SMBus Cntrlr and also Multimedia device and when i restarted then those two were using IRQ 11 and my mouse worked
this was really strange and i do believe that this is part of the source of my mouse not working, i am stuck and have been for some time now on this and i dont know what i need to do from here, i was also thinking maybe i need a new power supply because sometimes when i first start up my computer i can tell my processor fan struggles to spin a little even after it is clean and i do clean out dust on a regular basis, but i dont know about the power supply thing, its just a guess because i think it may be pushing out as much juice as it can to power up all four of my usb connections, my processor, my fan, my video card, and my mouse which has that frozen in the middle of the screen problem when i boot up my computer before i can log into my windows account
also i am more moving away from my power supply hypothesis because i can leave my computer open for a long period of time and my mouse never freezes up, i really need some help with this, thank you for the time spent in reading all this and any help i may be offered to correcting this issue, i have a couple more questions but they are not related to this issue so i will submit this one and send my other questions in a different message, thank you again

ok first of all i would like to thank all those who have read and given input and helped me with everything, thank you all so much
second is the story i have left out from the start of my blue screen of death problem and what it may have to do with the RAM.......
two days ago i started to put together my motherboard in my new case and new RAM and power supply, first i started with the motherboard transfer, i unscrewed it all fine and put inside the new case, but before i had it laying on my bed while i prepared the screws inside the new case, i put in my cd drive and hard drive, then i installed the power supply and connected everything, when it got to the RAM i took out the one 512 and the 256 and left the other 512 as it was and if you know about the K7N2-L motherboard then you know that two RAM slots are side by side and one is a little further off, well the one that was a little further off had the 512 so i put the 2x1Gb Patriots in the slots that were together
then i started installing more of the power connectors from the power supply and i noticed on my bed one little piece and had no idea where it came from, i started looking and thinking where have i seen a similar piece before and then saw that it was a RAM clip and how it came of the slot eludes me even to this moment, i didnt think it a big deal so i took the 512 out of the slot it was in and put the 1gb in its place and the 512 in the middle of the two 1gb chips, so one 1gb and the 512 were in the slots side by side and the other 1gb chip was in the slot further away from the other two and that was the one with the broken clip, yet it ran through the memory tests and even showed up in Sandra but i am thinking now that maybe it is the reason why i have gotten 26 blue screens of death since yesterday when i first started up my system
so now i removed the 512 and put in its place the 1gb from the broken clip slot and i started it all up and went in bios and see the timing are automatically set at 2.0-3-2-5 and so i also set the frequency voltage at 2.7V just as a test and so far since i have been typing this message i see no blue screen
the broken clip slot is broken at the clip but i had it in there and when the chips was installed i tugged a little to make sure it was being held in there and the fact the memory showed up on my system lets me know that it registered but i think that because they are two different types of RAM they may not have been compatible so i was getting the blue screens, the patriots are stock timed at 2.0-3-2-5 @ 2.7V and the Corsair is 2.5-3-3-8 @ 2.5V but then i think again it is because of the broken clip slot now because before when my system had the two 512 and the one 256 chips and no broken slot clips and i had the voltage set at 2.6 and also 2.7 with no BSOD issues............
so now here i am Single Channel Ram with timings of 2.0-3-2-5 at 2.7V and no blue screen so far but that extra 512 would have been nice but oh well i guess, maybe 750 mb more RAM than i had before is not so bad.......but i am power hungry just as are the rest of you when it comes to the computer system
i wish i had one more 1bg patriot chip to test my theory but then again if it didnt work i will have an extra chip to look at which will make me go
well i guess that is it for now, it is just a time issue now to see how this 2gb works out for me, but i want 2.5 gb
my next project is new motherboard and new processor and new ddr2 or ddr3 RAM but by the time i need that upgrade ddr5 or 6 may be in use i hope in that time the prices are good and for some reason AMD gets my attention more than intel, i dont know why
well ok i have been typing this for quite some time now and no blue screen so this is good news, i guess the question now is do you think the problem was due to the broken RAM slot clip or because the Corsair RAM was timed to run at 2.5-3-3-8 at 2.5V and the Patriots' are timed at 2.0-3-2-5 at 2.7V and together they are just not compatible?
thanks again for everything

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )
bye
LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

Mouse Problems Since 10.6.8 Update

Since I applied the OS X 10.6.8 update to my MacBook, I have started to have very annoying mouse problems. Sometimes the mouse gets stuck on a window or icon as if I am dragging it. More often, the left mouse button stops doing anything and the right mouse button starts acting like the left mouse button. At the same time, the mouse is often incapable of clicking on a highlighted button. Safari often seems to be open when this happens.
I have tried two different wireless mice and, most recently, a basic corded mouse. I have also tried both USB ports with the corded mouse.
Has anyone else seen this and figured out how to fix the problem?

Same problem here with a macbook pro. I desactivate teleport to see if the problem is related.

Major mouse problems in Virtualbox 3.0.2

I'm running an Arch Linux VM running on VB version 3.0.2 running under an Arch Linux host (both x86_64 if that matters). As you x86_64 guys know, one must use thotypous's package in the AUR for VB on x86_64. Anyway, the VM boots up just fine and is fully functional, except that the mouse in the VM simply stops working after a while. It seems to be stuck and invisible trapped in the lower right of the screen; my only option is to restart the VM.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I ended-up nuking my VM and hdd file, rebuilding it from scratch and am experiencing exactly the same issue w/ the mouse. Everything is fine in my XP VM, it's just my Arch x86_64 VM that has this damn mouse problem!

Mouse problems with v10.7 Lion and VMWare Fusion 3.1.3; reboot of Lion temporarily fixes it

Since installing Lion, my VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 Windows 7 and XP virtual machines have very strange mouse problems. I thought it might have been caused by 3rd party software on my iMac (Mouse Zoom), because it seemed to work after removing the software, but I have now discovered that it is actually the reboot of OS X v10.7 (and now v10.7.1) that temporarity removes the problem. However, after a while the problem comes back, requiring another reboot of Lion.
The problem is strange behavior of mouse button clicks inside the virtual machine, e.g. unable to double click on a folder or program in Windows because it jumps back to the higher folder tree, as if I had hit the ESC key. In addition to my USB and BlueTooth mice, the Mac touchpad also has the problem. I have confirmed that the problem is probably in how VMWare maps the iMac human interface devices (HIDs) to the virtual mouse inside the VM, because I am able to get correct mouse function by attaching one of my mice directly to the Virtual Machine (there is an edit to the VMX file that enables HID devices).
I have deleted and reinstalled VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 per suggestions on the VMWare support site and/or various forums, but that did not help.

According to: http://roaringapps.com/app:61 Version 3.1.3 has issues with Lion. There is a 2011 beta that works better.

Nightmare Mouse Problem

OK, this one is baffling me and has become a nightmare.
Since this past weekend I have had a mouse problem that I cannot resolve on my own and no matter what I've tried, nothing has resolved the issue.
When using the mouse, it is not responding to mouse clicks. Moving a window takes repeated tries and does not move to where I want it to go. Most times, trying to move a window minimizes it to the dock. Clicking on items takes multiple attempts to select them or highlight them. Highlighting text is near impossible to do accurately, as is relocating the cursor. Selecting items on the desktop is hit or miss and sometimes the items will launch without double-clicking them.
I also have a Wacom tablet and this device works perfectly, although I have dual displays and it only is mapped to one display.
Things I've tried:
Since I am on a dual-bootable (2 drives/2 OS's) Mac and have dual user accounts on each drive, I've tried using each user account on each startup disk. The mouse behaves exactly the same way on all of them.
Tried using a different mouse.
Removed the tablet from its powered USB port on the rear of the Mac and tried the mouse in that port. This improved the ability to select an item on the desktop but in doing so, the item launches with one click.
Checked System Preferences/mouse settings and they have not changed.
Verified and repaired permissions using the OS 10.4 installer CD.
Scoured the Net for info as to why no mouse is working but a Wacom Tablet would be in the same port.
The mouse was originally connected to the right side of my keyboard. Tried the left side port, as well as the powered USB port on the back of the Mac where the tablet was connected as mentioned above - and I also tried the other powered USB port.
I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
Can somebody please help?
THANKS

Help!! Seriously Frustrating Mouse Problem!!

I can't seem to figure out where the problem lies. It must be the computer or OS because I've tried different mouses and the same thing is happening:
Clicking the mouse seems to keep registering as 2 clicks! Its as if it is registering the release of the click as a second click because if I'm real careful and click and release slowly it doesn't happen. As I said, it happens no matter what mouse I plug in. I tried changing the mouse preferences and buying a new mouse pad which seemed to work for a while, but now its happening all over again for no reason.
Any ideas? Its pretty weird.

Were the different mice the same brand and model?
Try playing around with only the mouse and keyboard attached (disconnect all other USB peripherals) and with the mouse attached through the keyboard and directly to the eMac. If the mouse begins to behave normally, add USB peripherals back one at a time, checking to see if the problem recurs, in which case you can either replace or isolate (using a self-powered USB hub) the offending device.
If you create a new administrative user account (use it only for troubleshooting to avoid changing default preferences as little as possible), does the mouse problem appear in that account as well?
In your normal account, did you try moving the old preferences file to the desktop or trash to force creation of a new .plist file, then make your settings changes? (I think you want the Library> Preferences> com.apple.desktop.plist file for the mouse settings.)
If either the troubleshooting account or the new prefs file tests work, you can use Preferential Treatment to check your preferences files.
Did you install manufacturer's mouse software with any of the mice you've tried? This is one of those "whatever you've tried, try the opposite" things --- if System Preferences> Other shows any mouse-related extensions (e.g., Control Center), try removing that and restarting. Conversely, if you never installed anything from the mouse manufacturer (and for generic three-button scrollwheel mouse support under OS X you don't need to install anything), see if adding the latest software from the maouse manufacturer's website helps.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse problems

Dear friends,
I think something is wrong with my bluetooth devices... They work perfecly well for a period of time (maybe 1 hour, maybe 2 minutes) and after this period they stop working well. They are not disconnected, they keep working, but they are super lagish, e.g. the mouse cannot be controlled, the keyboard have super latency or it keeps repeating a button i selected.
When this occurs I turn off bluetooth from my status bar, and turn it again on right away. That solves the problem for again a period of time. This issue was first introduced to me after I installed Lion on my mac. After this and some other problems I experienced in Lion, I decided to switch back to snow leopard again. The thing is that the problem persisted...
Any suggestions ???
Thanks

OK. New input...
Updated again to Lion. As soon as I updated the problem began again. Once again I deleted the com.apple.bluetooth file and reset both pram and smc.
For two days my bluetooth devices were working perfectly fine. None issues.
Today, I was in a hurry and put my mac on sleep by closing the lid. As soon as I opened the lid again
the problem unveiled again.
What on earth is happening ?? It cannot be a keyboard or mouse problem, can it ??
Little help, please... It seems managable, but performing a smc and pram reset every couple days doen't
seem right...

Slooow internet and weird mouse problems?

I recently upgraded my iMac to Leopard (10.5.4) and started having weird mouse problems. At start up, mouse would be frozen in upper left corner. I'd restart, switch mice, restart, over and over. I use a Wacom tablet w cordless mouse plus Apples alum cordless keyboard. Eventually I tried switching USB ports for my Wacom tablet and the mouse was OK. I have learned that when this problem occurs, I need to shut down and unplug everything. That seems to solve it. Anyone know why? ALSO, ever since upgrading I have found the Internet to be appallingly slow. I have 2 GB memory and just upped my internet speed (supposedly) through Embarq.

hmm, what is a mouse usb or a keyboard usb?
arent all the usb ports same?
I really wish to show you how this happens it is really fun, but also annoying. especially when I am playing a game. it is interesting to watch the screen when suddenly all the world starts rotating when you are playing a first person shot'm up.

Strange Mousing Problems

My iBook is normally used in the following manner: a LaCie External HD, Kensington Mouse & Apple Keyboard connected through my Kensington Notebook Extension Dock with Stand. Well yesterday I removed my peripherals and the dock stand so I could use my iBook in the other room.
Later when I placed my iBook back into the stand the mouse stopped double clicking. I can't double click on anything and this includes single words to edit them.
And suddenly my DVD/CD drive wont reboot with DiskWarrior in it. I can see DiskWarrior on my desk top but I can't get the darn computer to start with DiskWarrior.
So now I can't do any disk repair. Although I do have Onyx so I used it to optimize and rebuild my HD.
I tried resetting the PMU and that didn't work. I also replaced my mouse with a different one and that didn't change things. My keyboard appears to be working fine.
I have recently done a complete wipe of my HD, August 12, 2006, and a clean install of Tiger and then the installed my other software. The DVD/CD drive worked just fine during my reinstall and afterwards when I defragged and then optimized my HD.
Dual 1.8GHz G5, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) LaCie 320 GB External HD
Dual 1.8GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Dual 1.8GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

This is the report I received after running DiskWarrior:
Disk: "The HD"
Repaired the Total File Count of the Volume Information
Repaired the Available Disk Space of the Volume Information
Location: "Desktop"
File: "1f5_data"
Detected Overlapping Contents, this file will be relocated AFTER replacing the directory
Location: "The HD/private/var/vm/app_profile/"
File: "cf#hYlvB"
Detected Overlapping Contents, this file will be relocated AFTER replacing the directory
Location: "The HD/Users/RKROSSI/Library/Preferences/"
Explanations:
Overlapping Contents: Overlapping files are files that occupy portions of the disk already occupied by another file. These files will be relocated after replacing the directory. You must inspect these files to determine which of them had been overwritten and damaged. Be aware that opening damaged files can cause the computer to crash.
Volume Information: Every disk has information that describes its contents. Repairs prevent problems such as wasted disk space and applications not functioning properly.
Would these overlapping problems be caused by blessing a HD?
After running DiskWarrior the mousing problems still exist.
I tried taking the mouse and keyboard off the Kensington Dock Stand and plugging it directly into the computer but the problem still exists. I can right click without problems though.
I wonder if this could be something with the trackpad preferences? I did change them when I removed the devices to use the iBook. Is there some way to discard those preferences?

Update 10.6.8 - dual screens - mouse problem

I run a Mac Pro with 2 screens. I can just move my mouse (and windows) from one screen to another.
I just did the update and now I can not move my mouse anymore from screen 1 to the other screen. So I can not get to the 2nd screen anymore with my mouse.
It must be associated with the update, before the update I never had this problem.
Does anyone have the same issue and a clue on what to do?
Thanks a lot,
Ed

With Logitech Mouse and Keyboard Y-RAK73 (S 530-Mac) on a Apple MAC PRO (2009) (2 screens)

Batteries are OK, location of USB Stick OK.
Same eratic when moving windws of Finder, objects etc ... specially in the vertical direction (downward for ex.)
specialy when dragging from one screen to the other, but ALSO just same (primary) screen.
=> The faster the move, the more eratic.
Also passed OSX kernel in 64 bits mode. This may be the trouble ?

Magic mouse problem - side to side scrolling...

Is anyone else having a problem with mouse partially working? I can scroll up and down, zoom in, and swipe with 2 fingers but can't scroll horizontally or 360. Also I can only use the scroll up and down feature with 1 finger if the web page has a side scroll bar. So for instance I can only use mouse in the traditional way on the imac front page or on a web page without a scroll bar. This is driving me nuts!
I can't understand how it's half working. Do I need to send it back? On os 10.6.2 and showing up in pref box with all options ticked. Have only had imac a couple of weeks so any suggestions would be great - thanks.

It seems obvious that you can't scroll horizontally unless the page you're visiting, or your document, is larger than the width of your window.

Weird mouse problem (clicks not being performed, -)

Recently I am suffering from a really weird problem.
The middle mouse button shows a really strange behaviour:
I'm using KDE from [extra], and middle clicking e.g. a link in a webbrowser (no matter which toolkit it uses) instead of opening one tab, opens the link in several tabs.
Also middle clicking on a tab, normally should close *one* tab, while here it often closes more than one tab. Since this happens in every application I use, no matter which toolkit is used, this cannot be a KDE/Qt problem, since e.g. Firefox is affected by it too. I also doubt that GTK is the cause of this problem…
[The middle clicking problem has been solved, by cleaning the mouse wheel]
[The problem below, still persists]
Furthermore, sometimes my laptop looks like it enters a "state", where my clicks are not "performed" the normal way:
E.g. I had a media player running, when my laptop got into this "state". No matter where I clicked on this app, the clicking action was performed on the Play button. Using Alt+Tab to focus another window/bring it to the front, and clicking in this window anywhere again resulted in the Play button getting clicked.
After quitting the media player app (through a keyboard shortcut) my clicks still did not work normal. They still simply were not performed. In order to "re-gain" the ability to click, I had to log out first.
Since I've setup my Arch Linux not to automatically start X/KDM after logging out, I found myself in the terminal, where I ran startx, in order to run KDE.
The terminal still had some output of my X session, but it wasn't displayed with normal characters, but rather with some weird characters, looking all scrambled and stuff, as you can see on the screenshot. http://imagebin.org/100067
I currently use the packages from the testing repo, but IIRC this behaviour was there even before installing the testing repo packages.
Extra information:
kernel26 2.6.34-1
xorg-server 1.8.1-1
nvidia 195.36.24-2
xf86-input-evdev 2.4.0-1
I run Arch Linux x86_64 on an Acer 5741G Laptop, with a NVidia Geforce GT 320M.
Interestingly, another user who suffers from the same bug is running a computer with intel graphics, so it probably is not the nvidia driver causing the problem either.
Originally the bug was reported as a rekonq bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238987
Thank you

Hello,
I seem to suffer from the same problem. Sometimes (perhaps triggered by amarok, but I have to investigate this further before blaming this app) the left mouse button stops working. I can not perform left-klicks anymore. Everything is fine with the right button. If I log out and in again the mouse if fully back. In this loop X has not been restarted.
My setup:
KDE 4.4.5 (official packages)
X: X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2)
kernel: 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
architecture: x86_64
mouse: Logitech MX1000 Laser (Logitech, Inc. MX-1000 Cordless Mouse Receiver)
If s.o. will ever work in this I will be happy to provide any information I can come up with.
Cheers and good night.

Mouse problems with Illustrator CS6 and Mountain Lion

The mouse in Illustrator selects and deselects as it moves over buttons and cells:
1. In Graph data the cells the mouse passes over go dark grey if not already selected, then deselect if they are selected. This makes it very difficult to use the data cells.
2. In Layers window, where I may have 100s of layers, I want to hide one layer or more which are not necessarily adjacent to each other. Illustrator hides all of the layers it passes. It is very difficult to click and unclick the show/hide button (and also the lock button). Ditto with show or unlock toggle layer. I had to start up in Lion in which Illustrator does not have this problem in order to get a job finished in time.
Seems there needs to be a fix for Illustrator to work properly in Mountain Lion.
Has anyone found such a fix?

No I don't have Right-Zoom (don't know what it is), but I have the same problem with Apple's Track Pad, which I don't use much and I only use the inbuilt software.
I use Kensington Slim Blade and before that LogiTech's marble mouse and both need their software to work properly.
All of them work fine in Lion and earlier. Could it be that Adobe has overlooked some new aspect that’s in Mountain Lion which, in my case, needs to be fixed for Illustrator?
