Tim Fischer Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Do you have pets that might be jumping up where the mouse is and moving it by accident?Very good question, but no, I don't think so. We have a big Golden Retriever but he usually stays out of my office (usually the door is shut) and has no good reason to nuzzle up to my mouse, much less scroll the wheel... Now if I had a cat...

Tim Fischer Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think you may win the 2012 weirdest S3 issue award, Tim Lucky me! As soon as it started happening, I was thinking "oh crap this is not going to be a fun one to solve".Any chnace your FM transmitter is very close to the PC?Not particuarly... It's on the same desk, but was actually closer to my show PC last year as I've had to run from my main machine this year due to horsepower. But the old machine didn't use a wireless mouse...

Dave Batzdorf Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have a dedicated PC for the shows, wireless mouse and keyboard, one monitor. Havent seen this issue. A really weird one from the frozen north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I only asked because I have a second 500mw cheap transmitter braodcasting Christmas music and it plays wierd problems with the PC speakers that are 6' away. My show transmitter is hooked to an external antenna but does not have that problem but then it's a higher end Ramsey FM100b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 It would be interesting to find out what freq my mouse uses. It's not Bluetooth, but something proprietary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOR Staff Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 In a case of super-coincidence, or possibly digital infection. I now have a mouse that is randomly scrolling my browser window. The difference is that I know what is causing it: I just finished installing a new dual monitor KVM, with USB input/outputs for mouse and keyboard.Apparently this thing is doing some kind of weird keyboard/mouse emulation to keep the USB connection alive to each computer. That emulation must have a bug in it, because every once in a while my screen will bounce up or down 3 lines - the same as when using the wheel. I wonder if it could be possible that your wireless mouse receiver is doing something 'different' with the USB port that Win 7 is seeing as a scroll wheel event.(In case you are wondering,it's an IO Gear 4 Port Dual View KVM, and it's being returned as soon as I press the POST button on this).
