Pointer is erratic

[biermanoski]

Hi,

Mouse Pointer is erratic ever since I hadn't used my computer for several
months.

It was fine prior to long lapse of unuse; now it is difficult to control;
seems to have a mind of it's own. I mean it's ok when it stops. But always
jumps once when I move it.

I reviewed all my settings and did a Restore but the problem still exists.

Would appreciate if someone could help me.

Take it apart and clean it thoroughly.

It's a Notebook over 6 years old.

And are you using a mouse?

Replace the batteries in the mouse.

Yeah, so? If your mouse pointer is erratic, it can mean that the mouse
is dirty. Whether you're using a desktop or notebook computer is
irrelevant.

If you're not using a mouse, you should have mentioned it in the first
place.

Change you batteries if you are using a wireless mouse
