Mouse "jumps"

oz_wwjd · Nov 15, 2009

My mouse "jumps" around the screen,which is irritating to say the least as it's an effort to get the damn thing to do what you want it to. I suspect it's some kind of driver issue,as I've tried thgis mouse on another computer and it works fine,but as soon as I install it on this comp it start jumping. I've tried removing the driver and installing the latest with no result. I also have uniblue's driver scanner but it reports all my drivers are up-to-date..

Hi

What make and model mouse do you have?

If its a mouse that has a seperate driver as in say the Microsoft Intellimouse or Logitechs drivers, then uninstall the driver and then reboot and see if the Windows default driver works ok (wont have the added options of the offical driver, but just need to test)

In Device Manager do you have any devices with Yellow ! amrks, if so by what?

What is your PC make and model version if form the likes of Dell, HP etc or if a home/custom build PC whats the motherboards make and model?
Just wondering if re-installing the chipset driver may help

I've already tried uninstalling the logitech driver and using the default,it jumped just as bad. No yellow symbols are reported in device manager.

my system's make and model are as follows

System Manufacturer: AWARD_
System Model: AWRDACPI
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz

I'd rather not fiddle with the chipset if possible as I'm worried that I'd do more harm than good.

Hi

Which Logitech mouse do you have?

Sadly thats just your BIOS information and not the PC make, but to aid you to find the info on make and model of PC or Motherboard the below will help

To find this info you can use the likes of Everest to find this info, at times a summary log of your PC can help, to do this

Install Everest and run
Click Report (top menu) > Report Wizard > Next
Choose All Pages > Next
Choose Plain Text > Finish and wait for report to generate
Click Save to File and leave the File Name as Report, then click the Save as Type dropdown and choose Report files (*txt) and click Save (n.b. Save to desktop is best as easy place to find it, use Browse to locate desktop)

Then attach your log to your next post as per these instructions HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post
Click to expand...

Without trying drivers the best advice I can give is to if the mouse uses rechargable batteries, then change them (also change them if normal batteries) also give the infrared sensor a clean with soft cloth, also depending on surface the mouse is being used on try another mouse pad or just use a magazine or the desktop surface.

My mouse is a logitech ps/2 port mouse. When I generated the report I encountered a lot of messages stating "driver component sizes mismatch" at least 6 of them,which I disregarded and generated the report anyways.

I'm willing to try anything to get the stupid thing working like it's supposed to..

Re: Mouse Jumping

Just a quick post with the logs that I needed to link,since I forgot to include them in the original post.

Re: Mouse Jumping

If this is an optical mouse I'd suggest to use mouse pad with uniform, not reflective surface

oz, I'd suggest replacing the batteries in your ps/2 mouse, then refereshing its connection to the transmitter. Take care about how far away from the transmitter the mouse is. Are there a lot of "objects" (physical desktop) between the mouse and transmitter? That can make a difference.

Finally,

You might want to have a look at Belarc Advisor to see your system components.
You can download it free at: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html.

Hope this helps.
