More likely, the device’s
rollers are not turning, or are turning only intermittently. Inmost cases, roller stall is caused
by a dirty or damaged ball, or an accumulation of dirt blocking one or both sensors. Clean the ball and blowout any dust or debris that might have settled into the mouse/trackball housing. Refer to the preceding section on cleaning and attempt to clean the device thoroughly. Never use harsh solvents or chemicals to clean the housings or ball. If you have the mouse connected to a standard serial communication port (a COM port, you should check that no other devices are using the same interrupt (IRQ). For example,
COM and COM use the same IRQ, while COM and COM share another IRQ. If you have a mouse on COM and a modem on COM, there will almost invariably be a hardware conflict. If possible, switch the mouse (or conflicting device) to another port and try the system again.
