dancing across the screen... usually in direct line... from point a to point b .... it is really quite scary.
Numerous virous scans... malware scans... and still no answers. I have even enlisted top tech gurus... but nothing.
One thing I did note... this only started occuring when I added that second 200 watt sub-woofer under my desk that bounces beautifully off the hard wood floors.
It's great! I don't even have to stir my martinis any more.. just plop the olives in and set them on the desk next to the optical mouse.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Batteries?
I doesn't make sense, but neither does most things in life :)
A 200-watt sub WOOF to that one!
As time went on... I taped (and still do) a 14x8 white piece of paper on the desk top... where I scrible phone numbers and notes etc... Every month or so I just replace the paper, and file it by month in my file cabinet.. thus having notes and phone numbers stored and saved.. I guess that is old school for that monkey that said I was trolling you.. but what can you say...
I did read about an optical mouse pad before... but I figured a clean white piece of paper would be just as good... but it doesn't matter... the mouse still dances across the screen at random times... even when the cat is purring some distance away ( I said that for the troll fellow).
Checking any funky interrupts in my device manager showed nothing, and of course I've cleaned the optical parts. I didn't have a sensitivity setting.. but there was an option to uncheck "enhance." No resulting comments on that yet.
It looks like the device has a "laser" in it for the optical.. only takes a second to seem like it's burning something in my eye when you look at it, so you should not do the same... I'm already "crispy" so I am immune to such things penatating my brain.
It would "seem" that if all else was "quiet" and then the mouse started doing it's dance... some sort of interrupt is going on with the signal interpretation.
Oh yes.. the mouse does go through the USB 1.0 port.. and all my power management options are off on my ports.
Would be a cool place to hide a key stroke logger... but usually a device like that is attached directly at the port and then to the mouse. If somebody was really clever, you could switch "mice" for an identical with the logger installed... but well... I am not that paranoid.. and all my security cams would have picked up the intrusion anyway ;-))) .
Obviously some people have had the problem... so I guess it's just computers being computers... and keeping the base down on the streaming audio when doing senstive work.
Gotta love those hardwood floors and their good resonance!
