First, this is on a secondhand Dell with XP.
What causes the pointer to skidaddle either up or down, diagonally. I can be moving a card on solitaire and all of a sudden the card is up in the right or left hand corner or down in either corner. I can also be using the pointer to click a button and all of a sudden it's gone. When I slow the speed down, you can see it simply zip off the screen. A couple seconds later it reappears and I can use it like normal. It doesn't just dissappear. It actually moves off screen. Any ideas? I already tried updating the driver.
I'm using one of those mouses with the red light on the bottom and uses a USB plug. Btw, I have this same problem on this puter with a couple of other mice as well, one USB and one with the standard plug.
