  Nearly every round when I try to putt under 10ft and in some cases further, when I click on the bar to move the cursor, the bar blinks and I can't move the cursor OR if I move the cursor to the left it may only go part of the way.  On short putts I have tried to move the cursor and it only moves a 1/2 inch and then goes off on it's own costing me a stroke. I am using a wireless mouse whose battery has been changed and the computer says it's working ok.  I have the lastest version of flash player on my computer and I am using Firefox.  Any suggestions?

  hi

  it happens to me sometimes... usually when I do it too fast. I would also try a wired mouse since there could be some interference. I would also try different browsers making sure I clear cookies in flash and that browser just prior.

  Try a new browser , maxthon, comodo dragon are better than your firefox, I have all 3 and the firefox on my pc needs to be cache cleared 3 times a day to work , you will not have that problem with the other browsers.

  p.s wireless mouse can also be a problem, a cheap wired one was a much better choice for me.

  Thanks for the tip on the browsers.  I'll give them a try along with the mouse. Cheers!
