Were pretty sure that either something was wrong with the mouse itself ( ie. it did not process signals properly) or it had something to do with the driver that processed the signals from the mouse. When we took the mouse out both machines worked perfectly. We did call microsoft and they in all fairness tried to help but nothing seemed to solve the problem in its entireity. We eventually sent it back and bought a Mouse Systems Mouse that was compatible with MS mouse as this is what we needed to run one particular piece of software. Hope this helps but I'm not too sure htat it will
