Jerky mouse/screen action

[Bob]

I'm using an optical Microsoft Wheelmouse, 4.12 software,
and WinMe.
Lately, the pointer gets jerky after I clik on an internet
link when I'm
online. D/L'ing the data for a new site also seems to get
slower as it is
transferring data to my screen. Matter-of-fact, the
pointer got jerky as I
am writing this, plus, the cursor moved slow/jerkily on
this email screen..
There seemed no activity altho the process for an incoming
email started
soon after the jerkiness started. I just d/l the mouse
software but that
had no effect on the jerky movement. After the d/l'ing is
complete, and
there seems to be no other activity onscreen, the pointer
again gets
smooth - as now.
Any ideas out there on this...?

ps. a musical note just played form the computer - with
lots of
interruptions so the sound was on and off as it played...
