also if it is an optical mouse make sure that you are NOT using it on a shiny or reflective surface as that will also cause those symptoms :)\n\nIf it is a mouse ball mouse then make sure you take it apart using the screw via a screw driver obviously and cleaning out any gunk.

Hmmmm, this actually sounds familuar. My HP Pavilion 8775c did that to me once in a while. I never could figure out why exactly, but I have seen this problem before.\n\nEarly modle optical mice had that problem from time to time. But as you said, you have a standard mouse. I actually took the time to read your question. (he he he)\n\nAnyways, It could be something as simple as add-ware. I've gotten a bug or two that made my pointer try to move to certain spots on the screen. It could aslo be time to reformat and restore your system. Some times, having a fresh install and format clears little glitches like that up. The data on your hard drive that makes up your opperating system degrades over time from repeated reading. Kind of like the way a VHS tape gets a little worse every time you watch it. This is especially true if you shut down and reboot often. But this degridation can cause harware not function properly. Even if you've uninstalled and re-installed the drives, something else may be causing the glitch.\n\nIf, it's  not a software issue, it could be that your PS2 port may have a minor short somewhere which is causing the rightword movement. See what happens if you knock on the back of you computer case a bit. If it acts up when you do that, that's more than likely the problem. Again, not sure, since I don't know your hardware specs. But, if you are infact using the ps2 port for your mouse, you may try disabling that port, and switching to a USB mouse. If it still does it, call an exsorsist!

I'd like to find out what kind of mouse you have, and secondly if you have the software that came with the mouse.  I would reinstall the software for the mouse.  Or if it didn't come with software I would uninstall the driver from the control panel > mouse and reinstall then try to figure out if the settings on some sort of Web protection program is interfering with your mouse. (i.e. Norton Internet Security) etc.

You should definetly repot this to microsoft that if you are using a licensed win xp.\nAnyway, check for the latest pathces and win upgrades...\nI had it on win 2k and it worked fine...\nYou can also try reporting the bug to oracle...

Seems to be a glitsch in Windows XP.  I have the same.  It gets slightly better after going through a safe mode start (F8 while booting).

you might have a conflict between the mouse and another computer component.\n\nThe most common conflict is with the modem, so in case you are not using the modem, (most likely) try taking it off.\n\nyou can go to the control panel and under system, hadware,devices, look for the mouse and check if it has a conflict with any other hardware.

I can think of a couple reasons off hand. First, are you using an optical mouse/trackball?  If so, there could be some dust causing problems. Clean it just to be sure.\n\nDoes it do it at the same duration each time? I have a program, webshots, which centers my mouse everytime it changes my background picture, every 15 minutes.\nThere could be a program running in the background that updates, I've had a weather updater do the same thing before.\nAlso one of the older Wacom Table drivers caused this to happen.\n\nDo you have multiple monitors running with extended desktop? That could cause it to jump to where the 2 desktops would meet if it's not configured properly.\n\nHope this helped. I'd say it's probably a program that is running. You may want to try closing out all processes not required, see if it still happens then.\n\nFission

Try this:\nMake sure when you go into the mouse properties that when you check the 'Snap To' option, don't just click the red X close button.  Make sure you select 'OK' to set the command, then immediately restart.  This is the only think I can think of.  If its still happening, you may want to report it to Windows.  Hopefully this helps!

Well.. I have some answers:\n1. If your mouse is quite old, then it will sometimes have some malfunction. Moving itself up and down, left and right. You click it but it won't let you.\n2. Dirty\n3. Ghosts in your mouse! ;)\n4. You didn't feed em with cheese I think. \n\nMy suggestion: Try it with other computers to test if its really your mouse having problems.

Because you're dragging the mouse on the files as you mark them. Try reducing the mouse sensitivity or just be more careful.

Might not be installed properly.  Go to Display Properties, then screen saver then click preview after selecting your chosen screen saver. DO NOT move the mouse or press any keys, if it doesn't work try re-installing it.  Maybe your mouse is overly sensitive and is telling the computer that it's being moved when it isn't? (some optical mice sometimes trigger motion even though they're not being used!)

It would help to know if you're using a desktop with attached (plugged in) mouse or a laptop with a touch pad.  Also the make of your computer. I'm also not sure if the mouse problem happens only with Yahoo or with all other web site you go to.  So go ahead and open Yahoo.  While Yahoo is open and displayed on your screen,  try these things:\n1. Click start > control panel > mouse.  A dialog box called Mouse Properties should appear. Look for a tab called Hardware and click on the tab. It should tell you if the device is working properly and if it isn't, there should be a Troubleshooting button. Click on this and it will take you through some steps to try to isolate and fix the problem.\n2. If the troubleshooter says the mouse is working properly, you might also see some other tabs called Pointer, Pointer Options and Device Settings. Click on one tab at a time and try changing your settings for sensitivity, movement, etc.  Go to the Yahoo screen and see if the change(s) affect the mouse movement.\n3. If it's a plug-in mouse, does it have a removable ball? Remove and clean it with alcohol, and also clean the rollers. Give it a try. If that doesn't help, see if you can borrow another mouse. If that solves the problem you probably need a new mouse.\n\nHope some of this helps.\n\nplrr

Call Ghost Busters!  Seriously though, that happened to me when I was using a hard mouse pad.  Try using a softer one.  It could be that when you are typing that simple action is causing the mouse to move the slightest bit if the pad is a hard one or you are not using a mouse pad at all.

try reinstalling the mouse software if any came with the mouse. on windows, you can click start, settings, control panel and mouse and see if any settings there changed.\n\nthis is assuming you have a Windows machine.\n\nif you don't have software with your mouse, go to the manufactures website. and see if you can download one that matches your mouse model.
