Posted on 06/01/2005 10:00:25 AM PDT by since1868
The pointer(cursor) on my computer screen involuntarily moves across my screen. I am using Firefox have ran several spyware, adware scans and nothing works. Also this has been going on for a few years. I have had 3 computers and several mice. I am hoping someone here can help. Thanks

Turn off pointer precision in the mouse section of control panel. If that doesn't work... reinstall the mouse drivers... and if that doesn't work, buy a new mouse.

Yes, however it happened with a regular mouse.

Okay, I'm assuming that you are using a version of Windows. Do you have anything checked in the Control Panel for your mouse to automatically move to default positions?

XP just checked box is not checked to default position.
I should add that the pointer always moves to a position that if I click it it will open something. Usually the start button but not always.

Three things to check:
Is the top of your computer desk level?
Any blasting, trains, or heavy equipment in your neighborhood?
How close do you live to Uri Geller?

Turn off the snap to feature. On the same tab as pointer precision.
