Mouse problem:

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP, SP3 running Windows Firewall,
Avira antivirus,
Spywareblaster, Spybot (only for updates) and Hive Cleanup and all the
programs work well together and are up to date.

Of late, my mouse has been acting erratically. What happens is that I
click and drag to highlight the text but when I release the mouse
button the highlight disappears or in other cases it moves bits of the
text to other areas or only highlights portions. It 's become so
frustrating that I just cut/ paste. Another example of this is when I
save a link and when I try to drag it to a favorites folder it ends up
in another folder as I'm dragging it. Also I can't seem to move my
folders/files around within My Favorites as I use to without files/
folders ending up in other folders.

I have had my mouse set up for single click for years with no problems
whatsoever as I have wrist injuries but this problem only started
occurring fairly recently so perhaps I need a new mouse?

Thoughts/Suggestions?

I think you probably need a new mouse. :-)
