For sometimes, when I hesitate and let the cursor just kind of hover... the system will do a mouse click, all on it's own (I'm not inadvertantly clicking it because I already thought of that and have been very careful and attentive..)\n\nsometimes it happens when my mouse is around very inconvenient places, like the close box on a window.  Anyone know what this setting is and how I can change it?

your touchpad is very sensitive i suppose. if you have synaptics touchpad, in the toolbar manager, you will see a touchpad kind of icon.  right click it, and see if there is a checkmark next to "Tap to Click".  if so, then deactivate it and you won't have this problem again.

Disconnect & reconnect your mouse & keyboard, you could have knocked the connectors loose (this is almost certainly the problem if you have the sort of keyboard that you plug your mouse into rather than plugging it directly into the computer).

The mouse pointers, animations, and cursors are all bitmaps to be used by windows.  Meaning they are static pictures you cannot change and they were just designed that way.  I've noticed it too.\n\nI always wanted to see one that would flip from side to side depending on where  you are on the screen.

Usually it's because of the mouse. If it jumps even when you don't move the mouse, try replacing the mouse. Otherwise, you may need to clean it.\n\nUmm... on second thought, it looks like you are actually talking about the keyboard cursor (also called caret)\nIn that case, it depends where you type - if you're talking about this website, it has limits for message lengths (e.g. for questions, comments, etc), and when you exceed the limit, the caret may jump back.

OK, try this. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers and other Hardware > Mouse > and then uncheck the "turn on click on". Click OK. See if that solves the problem if not you can change other settings in the 'mouse window'

Download anti-spy yahoo toolbar (keyword search at yahoo.com) . It will remove spyware that may be causing your cursor to freeze.

It's a ghost.\n\nI kid.\n\nYou could just be getting interference from something around it. My wireless mouse will do that from time to time too.

go to your control panel and mouse settings. change the sensitivity and double click rate there. good luck!

I will tell you a solution for a similar problem, hopefully it may be useful to all. \nIf the cursor is stuck/frozen when we use the touchpad it can be solved by the following method.\nSwitch off the laptop, disconnect it from power, remove the battery and keep pressing the Power switch for 30 seconds.\nThen reconnect battery and the external powere in that order and power on the laptop. the cursor will be moving again.\n\nProbably you can try this and let us know.. My laptop was a toshiba satellite series one..

If you have a standard PC, 2-button mouse, you can adjust the Mouse settings in Control Panel.  If it is clicking every time you touch it, though, it sounds like it's on the blink.\n\nA Mac mouse click by pressing the whole body of the mouse down.  You can also adjust settings in System Preferences.

I can't quite remember, but my old school used to do that.. I think you press CTRL + UP, maybe its down..maybe its not even CTRL and it's shift, windows key, or alt.. try all them..

There is always an option to change the sensitivity in Windows or in the mouse's specific software.  I have the Logitech G5 and it's just wonderful.  I use 2000dpi in regular Windows, and when I play BF2142, I lower the dpi while on foot, but in vehicles I put it back at 2000dpi.  The buttons right on the mouse make it really convenient.  :)  I'm sure you can find ways to optimize your mouse...unless, you really want a new one.

This happens mainly due to your PC configuration i.e hardware, in particular the mouse not matching with the intended performance parameters. Go to control panel and fix your Mouse settings- check the speed - is it too much, or too less. Go for a Windows Xp or Linux with at least double RAM (256 Hz) when you go over Internet and also, work out with your ISP why the speed is slow. Quite often, a combination of slow speed, bad hardware and Anti-Spyware software give a dreadful surfing experience.

I think the click is intentional, it makes people feel more connected to thier computer. But I'd buy a quiet mouse myself, if I found one.

Have some control, would you?  You can just click it right off.  If you think that you may have a serious problem, maybe you need to get some help for it.  Maybe take a break from the computer for awhile??
