    i'm using a wireless mouse on my laptop and whenever i download things (i'm on wireless internet) the mouse becomes choppy and hard to use. it's a logitech mouse and i'm using set point so the drivers are updated.
    the only explanation i can come up with is the wireless internet and the wireless mouse signals are interferring with each other. anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

    you are correct on this. both your wireless internet & mouse uses signal at 2.4GHz. i used to have the same problem on my previous laptop. no workaround that i know of so far.

    Are you using a bluetooth mouse or the mouse that comes with the usb dongle?
