Make sure that the sensor/laser/tracball is not dirty under the mouse
if
trackball, turn the wheel around the
trackball and the ball will
come out, clean the rollers inside and the ball itself
if laser/infrared sensor, make sure that the lens is not
dirty, if it is dirty, get a
cotton bud and gently
wipe the lens. also make sure that the
surface the
mouse is on is not too shiny or is glass otherwise it will throw the laser off and
confuse it

- no problem, but if non of that works, it could mean you need a new mouse as trackball mice have moving parts they eventually wear ou

- no, if it was your mouse driver, you would notice the mouse starting and stopping and sometime suddenly moving somewhere else on the screen without traveling to that area, basically just disappears from where it was and reappears to a new location.
if the mouse is moving slowly and difficultly then it is a physical problem with the mouse.
one more thing you could do is take the mouse socket out for the back of your computer and blow into the socket in the computer and blow in the socket on the mouse in case there is dust and dirt on the connections but i very much doubt it.
nothing much more can be done realy
sorry
