When I go into first person or mouselook my screen spins. help!

[Roulette Luv]

When I go into mouse look my screen pans north and south or spins in a circle. Sometimes all 3. It does this even though I am not touching anything. It is not the battery.I am not using a wireless mouse. There is no battery. Is there anyone that can explain what this is, what is causing it, and how to make it stop?

Sounds to me as if your mouse is either set wrong or faulty. 

ADDED: Also as Freya said, i not think of that.

Do you use any alternate input controllers?

Included are Joysticks, Gamepads (including xBox 360), MIDI or HCI controllers.

If so, remove these and try again.

Hi Roulette,

This problem has popped up on Windows PCs before. Here are two threads with potential solutions...

http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Mouselook-once-mouse-is-moved-all-i-see-is-the-ceiling-spinning/qaq-p/833067

The one solution common to both appears to be that which Rolig suggested...

Right click your desktop → Personalise → Display → Adjust font size (DPI) → Make sure this is set to the default value of 96.

Good luck

Some input devices may not like Second Life Viewer's tendendy to move the mouse pointer to the center of the window when in "mouse look", SL's first-person view, or when using Alt + Click to change your camera focus.  If you are using a touch input device, an eye tracker, or perhaps a remote control or virtualization product, you can try changing a Debug Setting under Advanced menu.

From the SL Wiki:

DisableMouseWarp

Disable warping of the mouse to the center of the screen during alt-zoom and mouse look. Useful with certain input devices, mouse sharing programs like Synergy, or running under Parallels.
