Dell Optical Wheel Mouse Jumps
This is the first optical mouse (not cordless) I've had and notice that the
pointer will frequently jump to a totally different area of the screen as the mouse is being moved. I've cleaned the mouse pad (using the one that came from Dell), tied another pad, and have tried many times to duplicate problem by slowly moving mouse over same area of pad thinking there was some imperfection that the mouse was reacting to without any luck. Seems to be totally random and independent of application. Becoming annoying. Any idea of cause? |

Ive had the same problem with my mouse although its not optical. I found
that if you simply unplug the usb connection and then reconnect it cures the problem at least for a day or two "Mark" wrote in message ...

Mine is connected PS/2 via an adapter that came with the mouse. There are no USB devices connected to the system it is paired with. In my case, I had come to the conclusion that this particular mouse is just plain cheap. The other two have never shown this symptom. Stew |

Stew Another suggestion....I had the same problem with my USB optical mouse and the original Dell mousepad, the one with silver lettering on a black background. Apparently the reflective qualities of the silver lettering screwed up the mouse. With any other pad, or none at all, the mouse works fine. Dave |
