My Mouse is doing funny things

It's being a right pain in the toots today. Every time I try and click on something it either does nothing or comes up with what is like a little round black and white stop sign. I have to keep clicking somewhere else on the page and then click on what I actually wanted again.

It also keeps not recognising when I've let go of the left click. When I scroll down a page then let go of the button, it seems as though the computer gets stuck and it keeps scrolling when I move the mouse. I again have to click somewhere else on the page to stop it. The batteries are pretty new so it's not them. Any ideas?

I can't get into my email

Nope, I can't blame AB for this one. It's happening on everything I use.

Does it have a scrolling wheel on it ? click on that it should stop the little circle appearing?

It does have a scrolling wheel but that's never worked since I hooked this mouse up to my laptop (a couple of years ago).

Maybe that is the problem somehow. A symbol such as you describe has been known to come up on my screen if I press down on the wheel rather than "spin" it. Although I can't replicate it now: typical.

Could be an idea to update the driver for it, see if you can get the wheel operating.
