The page moves in an unpredictable way and the mouse cursor will sometimes creep a bit.

I have run all the usual virus checks, and downloaded the latest mouse driver, but it still happens.

I have an HP pavillion 522a PC with a Logitech optical USB mouse, made for HP and the whole system is about 3 yrs old.

I also regularly defrag and generally keep the system pretty clean.

As I type this, the page is going top to bottom of the display.

Anyone got any idea whats going on?

Or is it just a dud mouse? BTW. I do not have another handy to eliminate or confirm this possibility and live miles from the civilised world.

Dick Smith air jet spray works just fine.
