Hi Spike,

My girlfriend had the same problem on her computer. She has an optical mouse
and as an experiment I got a cottonwool bud and some metho and cleaned down
where the light comes from. It is darn difficult on some mice to get right
down there but there was gunk there, cleaned it out and it solved the problem.
Maybe this will help you out?
