Do you have an optical mouse?

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.

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?

Do you use a digitizer board? I do and it can really screw me up. It usually happens when I am checking out the daily bikini & the boss walks by.

I have had 3 computers and several mice.

And it continues to happen? On 3 computers?

Clean off the sand and gravel from your desktop or mousepad.

Seriously though, open up the bottom of your mouse and look at the wheels that are moved by the ball...if you don't have an optical mouse with the LED on the bottom.
You may find a lot of lint and crap wound around the wheels. Cleaning this off will help a lot. It has for me in the past...until I said "Screw it" and went optical.
