Optical mouse behavior
My optical mouse is going crazy, it would be in the middle of the screen and id move it right and it would go to the bottom left corner, i have contacted dell on this and they sent me another mouse and its still doing it!! So im wondering if maybe its the drivers, but when i checked the drivers cd i saw nothing about a mouse on there. When i put it in the usb port it says it found the mouse and it installed the hardware succesfully. So im thinking the drivers need to be updated or reinstalled, where can i find the drivers?

I discarded my boss's pale Dell mousepad today and his problems went away.Breakfastatbouv

no it was the blake one with grey in the middle, i switched to the white one and its not doing it as much, but its still doing it.- One last shot at the mousepad. Try the mouse on a plain white piece of paper.Only other suggestions:If your mouse came with a PS/2 adapter, use it and plug the mouse into conventional mouse port instead of USB connection.Check mouse settings in control panel. Sensitivity or acceleration might be set too high.

This only happens at random times, at least once a day though, but i will try that paper trick.
