Why does my wireless mouse have a mind of its own?

It sounds like you're receiving interference.  Even with wired devices, this can happen.  But it's much more prone to occur with wireless.\n\nDo you have a wireless network that runs on the same frequency? Wireless internet? Or even possibly someone near you also with a wireless mouse.

This question or one of the others you asked? It is possible no one knows the answers to the other questions you asked about your mouse locking up etc.

Call Ghost Busters!  Seriously though, that happened to me when I was using a hard mouse pad.  Try using a softer one.  It could be that when you are typing that simple action is causing the mouse to move the slightest bit if the pad is a hard one or you are not using a mouse pad at all.

It would help to know if you're using a desktop with attached (plugged in) mouse or a laptop with a touch pad.  Also the make of your computer. I'm also not sure if the mouse problem happens only with Yahoo or with all other web site you go to.  So go ahead and open Yahoo.  While Yahoo is open and displayed on your screen,  try these things:\n1. Click start > control panel > mouse.  A dialog box called Mouse Properties should appear. Look for a tab called Hardware and click on the tab. It should tell you if the device is working properly and if it isn't, there should be a Troubleshooting button. Click on this and it will take you through some steps to try to isolate and fix the problem.\n2. If the troubleshooter says the mouse is working properly, you might also see some other tabs called Pointer, Pointer Options and Device Settings. Click on one tab at a time and try changing your settings for sensitivity, movement, etc.  Go to the Yahoo screen and see if the change(s) affect the mouse movement.\n3. If it's a plug-in mouse, does it have a removable ball? Remove and clean it with alcohol, and also clean the rollers. Give it a try. If that doesn't help, see if you can borrow another mouse. If that solves the problem you probably need a new mouse.\n\nHope some of this helps.\n\nplrr

1. there may be a driver conflict. delete any other driver than the one that came with it in device manager.\n\n2. the driver is no good. delete it and let windows use the generic driver.\n\n3. the mouse is bad. return it to the store. that happened to me with a tablet mouse. i had to return it twice.

Sound like there is a loose wire in the mouse or your connection is loose buy another mouse they are cheap enough.This is the cord which you move the most and has tiny wires so this is most likely the cause.

Yes there could be a hardware conflict. Try the mouse manufacturers website for the latest software and drivers. I might also make mention that if you are using a wireless mouse you might be experiencing radio interference. Try moving your mouse dongle closer to your mouse when this occurs. I had this problem one time and after much anguish I found it was only happening when the neighborhood Ham radio operator was on his radio flappin his jaws. Moving my wireless mouse dongle cured the problem. By the way, I COMMEND you for the details! Most people ask questions and wont give details of their system!

Is the battery dying on your wireless equipment?  As in, try replacing the batteries and see if that helps.\n\nI'm not really sure what else it might be.  Might as well go with the other suggestions and swap different pieces of hardware in (wired keyboard, mouse) and try to isolate the problem.

IBM invented these eraser head style mice many years ago.  You might reinstall the driver and that might fix the problem.  You might try to change the bios mouse settings.  When the computer boots up press ESC to access the bios. \n\nDoes it do this if you are using an auxiliary mouse (PS/2 or USB)--in other words does it happen if you keep your hand and fingers away from the tracking devices-and is the area free of static electricity?

Make sure that you have admin privleges. It shouldnt matter, but its the only thing I can think of.\n\nYou may want to reload the mouse drivers. Open Control Panel and double click on Mouse. On the hardware tab, select properties, then select troubleshoot. Somewhere in there is a place to reload or update the drivers.

try reinstalling the mouse software if any came with the mouse. on windows, you can click start, settings, control panel and mouse and see if any settings there changed.\n\nthis is assuming you have a Windows machine.\n\nif you don't have software with your mouse, go to the manufactures website. and see if you can download one that matches your mouse model.

im not sure..\nbut it's happened to me before.\nthe freezing of the mouse may be due to adware/spyware so you might want to scan your system to rid of them.\nor.\nthe motherboard could be old/ and may be on its way to ruin.

Is it a microsoft mouse?\nIf so, have you tried loading the Intellimouse driver suite and load the specific driver for the mouse.\n\nMice take up VERY LITTLE RAM, but occasionally another device will capture the system IRQ that the mouse uses to operate.\nI have this problem with my SONY DVD, but once the DVD is done reading my mouse wakes up.
