I have 2 machines. 1 Intel P2 MM 166 Mhz 32 RAM Windows 98, 1 AMD K6 400 64 RAM Windows ME.

The Me system is recently installed to a clean harddisk, the Win 98 has been working fine for many months.

Suddenly on both systems I have slow, sticky or unresponsive
mouse action. This as I am sure you know can be a real frustration.

Neither system indicates IRQ conflicts, I have bought a new mouse and tried on both systems.

I can only think it has to be a sofware problem. I have IE 5.5, RealPlayer 8, ICQ2000, on both. These are the only major packages that are similar. Else I have Office 2000 on the Me, and Office 97 on the Win98.

All updates and drivers are installed.

What now ??? After 3 weeks my nerves are getting weary and so is my modem :-{)).
