- My friend once had this same problem, and it could momentarily be
- helped by pushing the mouse connector better into its plug. To solve
- the problems for good my friend had to have his mouse-port fixed, it
- had become loose because he had switched the mouse and the joystick
- back and forth so much. So if your mouse connector is steadily in the
- plug and the problem still occurs your mouse port might be out of
- order. Or maybe the problem is with the mouse itself or its connector.
