13540 2001-06-03 04:24:00 ever since i got an intellimouse explorer, the pointer sometimes decides to shoot off to the top right of the screen. does anyone know what is causing this and is there a fix for it as it is very frustrating at times.

i am using win98 on a pIII 667
thanks

Double click the mouse icon(bottom right of screen) Click the activeties tab and
then orientation.
Trust this helps.

in addition to adjusting the orientation, try a different mousemat. The mouse functions by rapidly taking snapshots of the surface below it and comparing them to determine the direction the mouse is moving. So if the mouse mat is plain white like mine was it doesn't have a clue which way it's moved as each frame looks like the last. This effect can manifest itself in lots of ways (no movement, massive jumps across the screen, etc)
You could also get the latest USB drivers for you motherboard if you are using the USB connector, and get the latest intellipoint software from the microsoft site as the one in the box didn't work correctly for me under windows 2000.

hope these suggestions help
