Help with erratic mouse!

[lovelyx]

I had a normal optical mouse, it started to behave erratically, and as I didn't had other mouse I decided to buy a Creative Wireless Optical 3000.
Before I used PS/2 port, but with the new mouse now I use USB, but it still behaves erratically, and sometimes the mouse stops responding, fro short periods of time.
I dont know what it can be, help please!

What kind of mousing surface are you using? Shiny surfaces, for example, can cause problems such as those.

Try a different usb port and see if it does the same thing
