698229 2008-08-18 02:17:00 Hi Team,
Intermittently the cursor on the screen jumps from one location on the screen to another.
The locations vary quite a bit.
It is not the video card, I have changed this from a Radeo 9250 agp to a 3D phantom pci (and the drivers) but have the same problem on both.
TIA,
Phil.

698230 2008-08-18 02:35:00 Are you running special mouse software or the standard software drivers?

Either way an update of the mouse drivers may help...

No system h/w or s/w changes done in last 3 years apart from recent test with video cards

Try it on a plain sheet of paper or cardboard

698234 2008-08-19 13:08:00 Ball mouse? Cleaned the rollers inside?
Accidentally turned on Snap-to (in Control Panel>Mouse Properties>Pointer Options tab)?
Can also be caused by a 'joke' program (check your computer for spy/malware).
