drop down list pointer

[Dolores~]

The pointer on my drop down lists has begun to bounce up and down within the
list.

For example, when I open OE, the first window is the identity list. I have
three identities. If I point to the first or second identity, within a
second the pointer (highlight) jumps down to the last identity. I thought
this was only an OE problem, but then I found the same thing in Word. If I
run spell check, and I get a list of suggested words, the pointer will
bounce around within the list.

Any help is appreciated.

I run a virus update and scan daily, and I routinely check for spyware and
adware.

Dolores,

Open the mouse from the control panel and in there you'll find enhanced
pointer precision settings. Disable it? Does that help?

Galen,

Thank you for your suggestion. I check the mouse settings and the enhanced
pointer precision settings were not enabled. I also tried enabling them
which didn't help either.

The strange thing is, the problem only happens when the list first opens.
The highlight will pop up and down 3 to 6 times, then stop and work fine.
