Re: Cursor mysteriously moves all by itself

Are you perhaps using a Ouija board as a mouse pad?

Suggestions from the web:

1. Clean your mouse thoroughly
2. Replace the batteries if a wireless mouse
3. Make certain mouse is sitting on a level surface
4. Retard the mouse sensitivity using control panel

and the strangest of all suggestions

5. Use a piece of blue paper for a mouse pad. Poster
claimed this worked. I don't why it would work.

Good luck.
