Mouse problem

[avair]

Hi I have a optical mouse, sometimes when I move the curser about the screen it will suddenly move into one of the corners of the screen. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening

What surface are you using the mouse on? Mouse pad or plain desktop? Sometimes optical mice don't work well on shiny, reflective surfaces. Try a different surface or mouse pad, maybe even a plain sheet of dark, matte paper and see if the problem goes away.

I use an ordinary mouse mat but will try on another surface and see how it goes
