Mouse acting erratically

[Lois Sauer]

My Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse is acting very erratically. It will jump to another location at the bottom of the page for no reason at all. I've reinstalled the driver(s) and have even gone to the site and installed the updated driver(s); but it is still doing this. Does anyone have any experience with this happening and is there any advice you can give me? Thanks!!

I have the same problem with my Microsoft trackball
optical. It worked fine until I installed Windows XP. I
downloaded the latest install software from the Microsoft
web page for this product. The biggest problem I have is
in one particular non-Microsoft program called MathCad.
After a few turns of the scroll wheel, the mouse goes
crazy and starts scrolling up and down and up and down
until eventually the program locks up. Sorry I don't
have a solution, but since there are now two of us, maybe
it's something Microsoft needs to look into.

Try opening Mouse preferences in Control Panel. Click the Pointer
Options tab and make sure that "Snap To" is not checked. If that is not
the problem, I am afraid I can't help you. Hope I was of some help.
