The only other time I have seen mice move on their own is when the mouse tail (cord) was hanging off the desk and dragging the mouse across the desk. This tends to move the mouse up and to the side of the desk. Mike Ober. |

| | Re: mouse moves on its own I use vista and was having the same problem. That pointing device to default button was unchecked and I am using a Dell USB mouse. I recently read somewhere something about multimedia devices or photo editing softwares running in the background could cause that. Pretty weird/peculiar. So I checked my msconfig and Task Manager and found two files by Windows Media Center. I disabled them and its been 24 hours - the problem hasn't retured. I have had it since I installed Vista. My cousin doesn't use a mouse and has the same problem. So I am guessing, it might not be the mouse, just vista. Who knows.
