Misbehaving mouse?

Distinctly odd rodent behaviour on my main computer - anyone care to advise, please?
Problem is with selection on the net. Most of the time everything works as advertised but about every third, fourth or fifth selection the response is to 'hang'. e.g. I select a topic in Pprune and the activity bar says 'please wait while this site is contacted', the aol logo goes whirling around and the hour-glass is shown but NOTHING happens. If I do nothing, the situation continues. If, however, I re-select the topic, the activity bar says 'done' and all activity ceases, without producing the selected topic. If I re-select further, with a single click, nothing happens. If I re-select and CONTINUE re-selection with multiple clicks, the activity bar visually alternates between 'done' and 'please wait while this site is contacted' for anything up to 50 or 60 clicks and then the loading window appears , either filled or filling with the appropriate percentage value showing in the activity bar. Once this site or topic has loaded the mouse goes back to normal behaviour for another few selections and then the same thing again. Tried changing mouses and reloading drivers (Intellimouse)etc. but no improvement. Have lived with this for ages, so no huge rush for the solution, but anyone got any ideas, please?
