Hello
I have an optical mouse.
Right now, I'm not touching my mouse, but my pointer is moving around on its own on my screen.
I don’t understand what’s happening.
How can I stop this? It's getting ridiculous.
Thank you for your responses.
The brand of my mouse is: THESYS

Hello everyone, I just read this post (very long but very interesting).
My problem is not a wandering pointer, but a pointer stuck in the center of the screen when I first open the computer in the morning. I have to turn off and turn the computer back on, and usually everything goes back to normal on the second startup.
I have a regular wired A4 Tech mouse.
If any of you have an explanation for my problem, I would appreciate it.
Best regards to all.

For all of you who have problems with the pointer moving around, I found a radical and simpler solution:
take out your toolbox, then look for some glue, and find a piece of white paper like the one from the printer, cut 6 small square pieces, and glue them on the four corners of the mouse and on the two middle edges. Try this, it worked for me.
Thanks to those who suggested putting a white paper under the mouse. I wish your mice a speedy recovery.

I had this problem with a regular mouse and when I formatted the computer it stopped happening, but a month later it started again, so it has nothing to do with optical or wireless mice since mine was an old-fashioned mouse.
Hi,
apparently, at my place too, unchecking the precision improvement seems to resolve the issues... we’ll have to see over a bit more time but it seems fine :-)
thank you all!

I need to forget what I said before, my mouse is behaving even more strangely than before, she's becoming truly uncontrollable......help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't use a mouse but the touchpad on my laptop, and I have the same problem as most of you: the cursor runs away to one of the corners of the screen. This has been happening since one of the SP2 updates!
Thank you, Draak...
The thing with the graphic tablet... I accidentally placed a printer power supply on my graphic tablet, which I use very rarely but is always connected... and it was that causing the mess...
So it's resolved now...

Hello, sorry to continue this discussion, but I have only partially found the answer to my problem.
I installed a program on a P2P and my mouse started moving around on its own on the screen.
So I deleted the file responsible for this issue, but my mouse pointer keeps moving on its own.
By pressing [alt ctrl delete], I saw a file running called "explorer," I deleted it and my pointer stabilized.
But when I turn off and turn on my PC, it happens again!!!! I have to repeatedly do this operation to have a stable mouse pointer...
How can I permanently delete this program (a joke, I presume...)?

Hi Vergio,
I’m coming back to this thousand and one solutions... just to tell you that the Explorer file is actually the Windows file, in a way... So if you disable it, it will automatically reload (thankfully) since version ME and later, I believe... and of course every time Windows launches...
So the first piece of advice: run an antivirus! for example by going to the site www.secuser.com
Then if you find nothing, try disabling other programs instead to identify the culprit...

I had this haunted mouse problem on a Dell Latitude laptop.
Actually, it's the pointing stick of the PC or the little joystick in the middle of the
keyboard that no longer works and makes the mouse move.
When booting up, disabling it in the setup brings everything back to
normal.
PS
Disabling it under Windows doesn't work (as usual...).
I noticed that occasionally, when changing the mouse or accidentally unplugging it during operation, the setup
can be affected without being asked.
Conclusion: if the cursor moves on its own, check in the
SETUP and try an external mouse.
That's one possible cause; there must be thousands of others.
Good luck!

I use Zone Alarm and Kaspersky anti-hacker...
What's even stranger is that when my router is disconnected it keeps happening... (I'm going to hang myself ^^')

oh la la, so it's probably not a virus unless it's a god, no hacker because, without the internet it continues and... it doesn't come from the mouse.
FORMAT if you don't have anything major that you absolutely want to keep.
P.S.: I'm thinking, you wouldn't have a second mouse plugged into the computer? a touchpad or a little malicious brother. Wireless mice with long-range USB dongles can cause chaos.

Good evening,
Before formatting (which is an extreme solution), we need to see if the problem is caused by a program or hardware. (As mentioned earlier) To do this, close as many programs as possible (except for Windows ones) and see if the issue continues...
For the hardware part, try using another mouse...
That's it for now...

See you later

For Toshiba laptops:
Equipped with a Touchpad and Accupoint (small button in the center of the keyboard)
I had the same problem where my pointer always went to the bottom left corner of the screen, I just disabled Accupoint and the hell is now over because after all the time I've struggled to read this post, I can’t even tell you :@ !
Thanks anyway for all your information ;)

Thank you, I'm trying to disable this AccuPoint but I can't, where did you do that?
In the manager it doesn’t work, an autorun reinstalls it every time I start up and I don't want to dig through the XP registry.
I know it's a hardware issue, I have the same problem under Linux.
Thanks in advance, see you later!

Hello everyone!
I'm here for the first time because I'm trying to understand what's happening with my mouse. All the solutions I've read since the beginning of this forum have been tested.
I have a Logitech MX 1000 wireless mouse, I believe. It was working fine until this spring, and it had been a while since SP2 was installed. But gradually, I had less and less control over this high-precision mouse. We tried reinstalling it, updating its software, updating Windows—everything, and I know it's not a virus or a trojan. Yes, the optical sensor has been cleaned thoroughly more than once... nothing.
We suspected a "sudden" transmission issue. I even moved the base closer, but it didn't change anything. With heavy production these days, we decided to cut to the chase and install another mouse I had on hand. New batteries, but wireless... still the same problem, even worse.
The issue is, as you've all described, no precision in movement. It searches for screen corners, I click a button and it doesn't always act as if the cursor's location corresponds to the signal it receives. Sometimes, I move my mouse and it suddenly goes in the opposite direction. The cursor also sometimes disappears.
I'm trying to summarize to tell you that I've gone through everything. Oh yes, I also checked in the Control Panel, but in my case, "Enhance pointer precision" wasn't even checked!
Pretty discouraged right now... in my opinion, what's important in the equation of this problem is:
wireless mouse - USB port - transmission base -
So, does anyone have a solution since then?
Lise

Good evening Lise,
You might not be describing it enough... but for the moment, I'm still thinking about the batteries... New batteries can sometimes be worn out (and more often than you think!)... You need to check the batteries before using them... and checking means using a tester, in principle. Other means, like the little tabs sold with the batteries and other little gadgets, are quite unreliable, but anyway...

Hello, I had this problem on a desktop computer:
Whatever mouse I used, the cursor seemed to drift away from where I wanted to direct it... it was unbearable! Slow movements in the absence of activity and fast when I wanted to click somewhere...
I tried EVERYTHING (drivers, mice on different ports, virus searches, etc.)... then I found the only solution that worked for me: using an old mouse WITHOUT A SCROLL WHEEL!!!
Now, on the new PC, I have the slow mouse movement problem when there's no activity... after changing antivirus and firewall...

Hello
try changing the mouse
I had a wireless mouse and every time the batteries were almost dead it did this to me

Hello, I just read all the posts but I can't find a solution to my problem:
I'm using a wired mouse that works very well. However, my ALPS TOUCH PAD is not functioning correctly after starting Windows. When I'm on the welcome page, or where I enter the password, the mouse's orientation is correct; but afterwards, when I make vertical movements, the mouse moves horizontally and vice versa! It's as if it's upside down.
What can I do to make it work properly?
Thank you in advance
