Mouse moving by itself..

[imported_Noah]

My mouse seems to be randomly moving to the bottom right or top left corners of the screen while I use it, anyone know why it would do this?

It instantly moves to the top left or bottom right corner, I have to fight with it or bang it on the desk to get it to work properly again, happened with two different brand mice so I don't know if it's that I'm using cheap junk optical mice or what. Could it be the surface I'm using them on?

also I just built this computer and it's finally all running smoothly, except this one problem.

The mice I've been using are just cheap junk $10 ones I had around the house as back up.

virus scan?

sounds more like the surface though....

was behind a firewall when I first set the computer up, immediately when I plugged the connection in I updated my virus definitions and did a scan.

Don't think it's a virus, could be though, I guess I'll scan again.

No viruses or spyware or anything..

using Windows and mouse jumps to task bar (near clock) immediately at random times? Yeah, mine does that too, on multiple systems, I think it is a windows bug.

There's a telekinetic person hiding in your closet making your mouse move on its own. Just open up the closet and beat that teke senseless and your problem will be solved.

well banging the mouse on the desk probably makes it worse. It is probaly the mouse. For 10 bucks you cant expect much

I suffer from the same inconvenience... it's only with optical mice, though. And yes, I use a non-glossy mousepad surface.
