I haven't got a PSU on that one.
I've got $20 I owe to pay back before I get a new mouse, and I had a 22-year old SERIAL mouse that didn't do this.
I didn't have these problems here for quite a while, until the last upgrade. WordPress and Disqus don't have this problem anymore (or I haven't used them since I got 7) and Bike Forums doesn't do it either (they have much the same version of vB).
Drunken mice.
I've got a CD of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' Crusade I got for 99 cents at the thrift store yesterday and it's getting really hard to find CDs and cassettes vs LPs there now.
If I ever find the damned CD/DVD drive on this Dell. EDIT: IF WINDOWS ever...
I have to pull this off line and see if the drive cable is still connected/
Oh well, I can get the blues with blue meters.

Oh, I may have disconnected it when I last had it opened looking for a floppy drive connection. The power connection (molex) is on it but it's not shown in Computer.
It's my doofus thing. You said you might have a USB floppy drive 7 recognized as the one I have doesn't have a proper driver in 7.
I'm not into politics. They can all hang over wherever. I don't give a flying fork. I like cassettes and bikes and stereos. I'll have to shut down and come back later in my own thread.

Check the cables both data and power. Also does the device show up in bios that would be the first thing that you should check. I"t it isn't in bios the you have a cable or ower cable problem. there are thrre sata ports if I remember correctly. Move the DVd drive to the open one and then check in bios for the device.
If I were you I would quit opening computer cases cause everytime oyu do something goes wrong.

What type off mouse do you need? USB or PS2. I think I have a few 2.4 ghz wireless mice here too. I'll go through some computer parts boxes when I get a chance. I'll look for the the usb floppy if I still have it too. I purged a bunch of floppy stuff a few months back so not sure it is still around but they sell them on ebay for $10

I don't really know...it's not a permanent thing anyhow, comes and goes...I've cleared the cache and that doesn't really solve it.
No mouse change, computer change or much else seem to cure that.
That 300 watt PS was nice but I would wonder now even if I could replace that fan. Those aren't just sitting around this town either...those that need parts are being helped as much as the computer repair shops can right now *that means there are others with stuff needed and I would be hogging that.
As for the MPC's GeForce power issue, I haven't opened it up to either remove a hard drive or find it more power YET (I had bills and groceries to deal with and MORE SLEEP than I've been getting, at better hours).
Now, I've spent god knows how much time anymore taking an abrupt crash course in 'modern' computers and such in the midst of more s### that the city moves through pipes in a day going on all at once, which is probably GOOD.
Windows is Windows and I don't have a *^&*&#($ clue how Linux does all that YET. It's ELEGANT/PRETTY though. I could see if that Linux drive will migrate to the SATA-1 position...it COULD go in the spot where the 'floppy bay' would have been and the molex power connector already conveniently in that spot will be right where it needs to be. I'm still left with only ONE IDE hard drive unless an ATA card will work on a PCI slot. THAT one is an ATA100 (100 MHz) so I'm not so sure.
