my mouse will all of a sudden vere to the left or the right and sometimes the bottom of my screen, sometimes it will go fast and sometimes it will go slow. someone please help me! gosh its doing it right now!

 

 

 

Thanks guys

wut type of mouse is it

 

 

 

if it is a normal mouse or trackball that dose not use lasers 2 detect movement try cleening it

 

 

 

if it is a touchpad like on most laptops try lowering the sensitivity if that dont work i dont know

it is a laser mouse, and it has something to do with my computer or something. i can unplug my mouse and it will still do it, and yes im using a laptop and i have a touchpad.

have you tryed to disable the touchpad?

how do i disable the touch pad? o yea, when its moving i can move it with the touchpad, but not the mouse. plus my laptop is docked, so idk if that may have anything to do with it.

Well, given your abysmal knowledge of computers...it isn't a good idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can turn it off in the BIOS, which can usually be accesed by pressing del when your computer starts up. If del doesnt work, your computer will probably tell you which key to hit when it posts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DON'T MESS AROUND WITH OTHER SETTINGS IN YOUR BIOS. YOU'LL PROBABLY MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER!!!111oneoneone.

well im not going to disable it bc ill take my laptop places and will need it. but like it almost seems if my comp is lagging or something. its not freezin up when its happenin but like itll start movin to the left and i can move the mouse to the right and after a second or two it will move to the right and vice versa. and i have to pick the mouse up off the pad and sit it back down, to "reset" it. someone please help, its very annoying.

Take my advice: Don't mess with the bios.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That said, what model is your computer?

well, it is a dell inspiron 4000 runnin xp, 512 ram, 801 mhz. i defragged and deleted trackin cookies, cleaned it up, etc. and it hasnt been doin lately much.. but it just did it about 30 minutes ago. any ideas someone? maybe somethin with a program? i had msn messenger running when it happened.. and thats it

Hmm, try doing a "disk cleanup". (right click on c:drive icon, and click properties. There will be a disk cleanup option.) Also, I think that if you disable the touchpad, only the mouse would work, and viseversa. You said that MSN was running as well. It's best not to use the beta version of msn, as lots of malicious programs can get in from that. Other than that...i guess you have to check that your video driver or graphics card is updated and patched. :?

Make sure that your mousepad isn't shiny.
