I'm having this annoying problem with one of the users in our company who has Dell inspiron 4100. Mouse keeps on moving automaticall on the screen. It was moving towards right, and now towards left. I have uninstalled mouse, reinstalled it. tried to adjust the motion properties of mouse, but nothing seems to work. Anyone has any idea whats causing it?


help!
 
the trackpoint may be buggered. Try disabling it and using the touchpad for a while. See if the problem persists
 
just to let you now how whack this problem is i am having to use tab and arrow keys to get here to talk (using a desktop) mouse is shacking back and forth on the right side of screen and is refusing to be moved by the mouse in any direction other than up and down which doesn't help!
 
which one is causing the trouble the touchpad or the track point, try a process of elimation
 
the trackpoint on both of my computers. my mouse wasn't working to hot on my desktop computer (the mouse couldn't move left but was stuck move right and did that automaticaly) so i figured i would work on my laptop and the laptop mouse started doing the same thing, mouse wouldn't move left and was stuck on the right side of screen. after awhile i can move the mouse freely again but when i start if shoots over to the right side again and won't move. so yeah the trackpoint is screwed.
 
Hmmm

Is it an optical mouse? I am having a problem with it moving in ways I do not like. Sometimes it decides to move to the right....and so on. I thought that the surface was causing it...so I bought a special pad for optical mice. That made no difference really. Now I am sure a new mouse would solve it in my case because I have already tried a different optical mouse and all is good.

i dont think that the problem he is having is with an external mouse, but the one that come with his laptop.

BUT, i also have the same problem you discussed with my optical mouse, i always just attributed it down to the surface.
