There will be three rollers inside. Use a fingernail to scrape off any junk. It might look like a brown stripe of felt is supposed to be there. It isn't -- it's just dirt. In extremely bad cases it sometimes helps to clean the mouse ball as well, but that usually affects all directions of movement. Damian Menscher -- --==## Grad. student & Sys. Admin. @ U.
