OK, so I've been having problems with my home desktop for several months now. I even bought a zippy new bare-bones system cuz I was due for one, and transferred a lot of the old hardware to the new machine. And I STILL was getting crazy crashes and dumb stuff happening. I could NOT figure out what the deal was.

I now have reason to believe it was the fucking MOUSE. I don't know how; I don't know why. But that's how it looks.

Computers are gay.

Have you tried going to the mouse manufacturers website to see if they might have updated drivers?

Yeah, it's a Kensington trackball, and I had the very latest drivers from their website. I've probably had the thing for six or seven years, so I guess I was due for a new one. I can't figure out why it would have been causing the computer to go nuts and crash--I would think it would just not work very well if it's going on the fritz--but there definitely seems to have been a correlation.
