- NEW!
by jalex137 on July 3rd, 2006
I just learned something new on this. My new Dell Optiplex has been doing this. I checked Dell's online knowledgebase, and they said it can be casued by the reflectivity of the mousepad surface. Ironically, it can even be a problem with the Dell mousepad that comes with the PC--which was what I was using. I switched to a dull, fabric covered pad and have had no more problem. The mouse doesn't slide quite as easy, but I prefer the tradeoff. So, I'd say, try a non-reflective surface rather than a desktop or hard surfaced mousepad.

Well if it is not working properly, while in use, it could be because you have an optical mouse, a scratch on your mouse's lens. I doubt it is a Windows error. Try blowing any dust off the lens, without scratching it.

You're reading The pointer on my Logitech optical mouse will randomly "scoot" across the desktop screen without warning. Is this a windows issue, or a cheap mouse?
