My mouse has a mind of its own (1 Viewer)

Ok, bought a new optical mouse (Genuis brand) and i used setup on the disk thing ... BUT!?!? My mouse, every once in a while, will move to one corner of the screen all by itself!!! Grrrr, relatively annoying.

Anyone know why it is doing this? Should I take it back or something?

with BALLS!

Have you gone through the setup wizard of your mouse? Through control panel or whatever it's called to adjust the orientation?

Which corner?

it is worth it to buy expensive mice since you will be using it all the time and they don't break easily.

doesn't sound like driver problem. Return the mouse.

Whats adjusting orientation got to do with anything? Its ajust a dude with some clouds ... I dont get what Im meant to do.

And it goes to all different random corners

lol i love PS2 optical mice! (yes, sarcastically)

yes, ur mouse is a PS2 mouse.
and why it is jumping around i don't know.

u could try ur mouse in your other computer. If it still jumps around you must return ur mouse.

If it doesn't jump around on ur other computer, update drivers or something.

im presuming ure using a mouse pad, try changing to one with the same colour all over it as in not like a photo or sumthin and just get rid of the pad altogether.... ma optical mouse jumped a few times, but hasn't since i removed the mouse pad.... ma theory being the colour changes on da pad confuse the mouse?
