Having a problem with my computer mouse and getting the cursor across and up and down the screen. I took take back off and removed the ball and all and blew some air inside but to no avail. So do I need a new mouse or a pad.

There are two axles, at right angles to each other, in the mouse body. You might try gently scraping the mouse turds off the axles with an X-Acto knife. That sometimes helps for me. Just don't bruise the mouse balls. <img src=newicons/Whatever_anim.gif border=0 align=middle>

You might try working the mouse on a different surface. The back of a tablet of paper sometimes works well, in a pinch.

Yeah, those mice hate having bruised balls. Come to think of it, so do I.<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

What you need ladd, is a eunuch mouse. They've got NO BALLS AT ALL!<img src=newicons/anim_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> They use a laser on the buttom that detects movement across almost any surface, and they are just as cheap, but not slutty.<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>

The only down side is that they don't work well on a really slick shiny surface like formica or counter tops. You still need a mouse pad.
