Lately when I'm on the internet, using the mouse results in a delayed reaction when I turn the scroll wheel, or when I click (right or left). Delay can be anywhere from one to five seconds. I have no idea what the problem might be, whether it is a hardware or software issue.

I'm using an older computer, amd 700 mhz, 128 ram, I use a ms optical mouse, Win 98 se. I have run virus scans (none found), cleaned and defragged the hd, cleaned out old files, cookies, etc.. used every applicable tool in my Systemworks package to no avail.

I'm not exactly a tech guy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  Randy
