UNSOLVED
Pointer jumps...
If I have a number of different windows open at the bottom of my screen and I want to click from one to another, my mouse will jump so that the arrow is up in the left hand corner. I then have to bring it back to the window I wish to open and try again and again until it finally allows me to switch windows. What is happening??? It is a real pain sometimes trying to go from one window to another...
- I am having the same problem, but my pointer goes to any corner of the screen, not just one. I am using the mouse that came with my XPS gen 3, and it is not wireless. I changed the mouse pad a few moments ago, and that seems to have fixed it, but I am not totally sure that the problem was the mouse pad. What do I do if it was not the mouse pad?

Hi,
My pointer is jumping also.. I can be at one place and all of a sudden it moves on its own to anywhere on the screen then I have to bring it back most times its in the four corners of the moniter that it moves. I have the demension 8300 and the mouse came with it. Can anyone Help Please??

I'm sure this problem is the mouse. I've had a Dimension for over 2 years and recently changed the mouse under the Dell guarantee because the old mouse kept crashing my computer. (corded, 3-wheel, optical, Dell branded mouse).The new mouse keeps jumping to the four corners of the screen at random, but no mouse ever did this before on this computer, which 'points' to the problem being with the new mouse!I'm using a Dell mousepad which is dark coloured and non-reflective.It seems to be an increasing new problem in these forums, which suggests its a new mouse design problem that maybe Dell dont want to acknowledge, because none of the moderators has replied about it yet...Could a Dell tech support person please comment?ty
