I had a problem with my wireless mouse. It was moving about the screen
for no reason at all, but I seem to have cured the problem which is
very simple to do.

Are you using a multi coloured mousemat? I was, but now I have found
out that if I use a one colour mousemat it cures the problem. I read
everything relating to the mouse movement in the manual provided and it
say's to use a red ot transparent mousemat. I now use a red mat eith
great results.

Hope this helps you with your problem
