mouse cursor moving on its own even with mouse removed from USB

I need help on my mouse cursor issue. mouse cursor moving on its own even with mouse removed from USB

 

Anything plugged into your serial ports? COM ports?

Wireless mouse?

 

Are you using a laptop computer with a track pad? I've had similar issues until I disabled the track pad.

 

My desktop pc is the one with the issue, two weeks now. Nothing on com ports etc, Wired USB gaming mouse

 

Describe the movement.

Have you scanned for malware?

What happens if you flip the mouse belly up?

What OS?

as Digerati suggested there is a possibility that you are affected by virus etc :wave

 

the movement is taking the mouse cursor sideways to the end of the screen and when its there ist stuck there still moving. Even if I belly up the mouse i still get the same effect. I am from Microsoft previously and I am sure I have no malware.

 

I ask again, what OS?

Have you tried another mouse?

And being from Microsoft does not mean you cannot be or get infected. So I ask again, have you scanned for malware?

 

Do you have more than one mouse attached to your system simultaneously? I use a USB wireless mouse and my wife uses a PS2 connected mouse. Sometimes the PS2 mouse drops and dangles under the desk, making the USB mouse cursor move on it's own, usually going to a screen edge and quivering (even when disconnected from USB). Also, do you have the most recent mouse drivers for your device?

 

Yes, I have ran a boot time scan and a deep scan on my pc, it didnt resolve it. My operating system is windows 7, tried other mouse too

 

I only have one mouse attached to my pc and i have the most recent driver installed

 

Are you saying that you used a different wireless mouse and it did the same thing? When you did that, did you also use a different USB wireless connection device (the tiny little transmitter thingamajig that you plug into the USB port to send and receive wireless signals)? If you used a different wireless USB device and a different mouse, and it continued to misbehave in the way you described then it's very unlikely to be a hardware problem. Although it could be a fried USB port.

Did you try using a different USB port?
