if that is checked, uncheck that, and your problem will be solved. otherwise, if yours is a while mouse, take off the ball, clean it, clean the touch points of the ball inside, put some lubricant (vasiline is a common one that works just fine) and u should be ok. if its a optical mouse, make sure the mouse pad is not black.
