Hi michel van der linden 

Where to start?

Google Trust Mouse to makers site - your model - instruction manual, device drivers, 
FAQS

WXP -  Control Panel, Mouse - see various settings

Surface on which the mouse is used can influence the way it works

If there is a PS/2 adapter for this Mouse then try this port instead of a USB port?

Just a possibility - some maleware/ prankware in the system?
