Mouse

My mouse is being very weird. I tried to download and install the driver on the page below, however, the driver already installed on my computer fails to do so. It says there is an error, and cannot be uninstalled. I'm not even sure if it's the driver that I need to be updating.

Here is the problem: My mouse will randomly move around the screen and right and left-click in random places, it even closes webpages, opens desktop properties. I'm not sure what could be causing this.

Oh I do have a Synaptics Touchpad, if that helps.

    Are you using an external mouse?

    I'm using the mouse on the laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. With the touchpad under the keyboard.

    That's the issue, it won't let me uninstall it. I knew I had to uninstall it to install the new one, but the old one is having an error preventing me from uninstalling it.

    if you're mouse if moving by itself without you touching it, that's definitely not a good thing, for all i know someone else was controlling your computer, it's actually happened to me before. are you sure it has something to do with the drivers?

    I'm not even sure if it has anything to do with the drivers. I was looking through the help files and it said to update drivers, but I can't. My boyfriend thinks it might be a virus, it's like someone else is controlling it, it randomly right-clicks on pages and the desktop, and then it's always closing the internet pages! It's very frustrating.
