Hi can anyone help me sort out a problem i am having please i have tried virus checking ect my mouse shoots off in all directions at times (well quite a lot actually!) it randomly goes away when i am trying to use it and wont go were i am putting it this is driving me mad!!! help please!!!

Is it a new problem?

What kind of mouse?

If laser have you tried a different surface?

Is it wireless?

Have you cleaned it?

Desktop, or laptop?

i have a problem that is driving me nuts my moues runs around the screen all on its own its very frustrating when trying to play games ect i have virus checked nothing to find also i have uninstalled and reinstalled mouse still doing the same
help please!!!! or i will feed it to the cat!!

If this is alaptop, I ran into this once and the cause was a battery issue. Ended up replacing the laptop battery. I'm not saying this could be your problem. Need more info on your computer to troubleshoot the issue.

Agreed - some information about your computer and operating system is needed.

And define: "runs around the screen". Is it making circles and wandering back and forth, never stopping? Or does it drift off to the edge and stay there? When you move it, does it go where you want it to?

Have you cleaned your mouse to ensure no dust or hair is blocking the optics, or interfering with ball movement, or sensing of ball movement?

Please only post one thread per issue.

Your previous thread which you did not reply to has been merged here.

Thanks jephree.

desk top it don't have a ball in it just red light i think it is lazer but am not sure connected via usb not wireless

if i am playing a game or trying to underline something the pointer just runs off on its own it seems to go erratically anywhere it feels like i will watch it more closely to see exactly what is happening
