Vista - Strange mouse issue

I'm using a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse with the 64 bit version of the setpoint software. My problem is that spontaneously, the cursor jumps all or almost all the way to either the top or far left of my screen. It'll work fine for a few minutes, and then pop, it teleports way over to the left or up. It's ALWAYS either left or up. This happens in all programs, so games too (which is really annoying). Anyone else have the same problem? Failing at that, anyone have any suggestions? Help is much appreciated.

(I'm using Vista home premium x64)

Same mouse - same problem. Use caned air to blow clean the lens area on the
bottom of the mouse. All better now.

I know for a fact that that isn't the problem, I'm dual-booting Vista with XP and I don't have that problem in XP. Gotta be a driver issue, but I was hoping someone knew of a remedy for it. Guess I need to go screw around with mouse stuff in vista some more.
