Choose Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse then go to the Pointer Options tab and see if any of those settings affect the behavior you’re seeing.Īlso, according to my pal Leo Notenboom, super Windows guy, it’s possible that the Microsoft Speech Recognition engine has been turned on and the system is trying to interpret noises as cursor motion requests. You might also want to check the sensitivity that you have selected for your mouse in the Windows XP Control Panel area. Do you have other radio or wireless units right by your computer? If you hook up a traditional wired mouse, does the cursor exhibit the same behaviors? If you move your computer and mouse to another room, does the behavior remain? you could be seeing interference with the wireless unit. Secondly, optical mice are very sensitive to the material upon which they sit: are you using an optical mousepad or other surface that is optical friendly? It could be as simple as you needing new batteries in the unit since it’s wireless.
There are plenty of reasons that your cursor could be weirding out, actually.
If your actual mouse unit is jumping then I think you might want to vacate your house or get a really aggressive cat or something. I presume that you mean that the cursor on your screen leaps around.
