Erratic optical mouse is by default at the bottom of the screen

Very often, but not always the optical mouse (connected or wireless USB makes no difference) by default at the bottom of the screen or the last item on the desk and refuses to move. If I try to move it to the top it immediately jumps to the bottom. The only way to solve this problem is to switch the computer market, which works usually, but sometimes not.

Hi Sam,

Since when are you facing this problem? You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

  • My Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse does not communicate with the Transceiver.

    After the return from a road trip, I plugged my Miccrosoft wireless optical mouse and keyboard. At first, communicate with my Toshiba Satellite laptop, but the keyboard now works. The mouse works sporadically if I push the reset button on the Transceiver and he travels the three lights. When I check the State of the mouse, it shows good batteries (I replaced the still) and the right signal. The computer apparently see the mouse, but somehow the orders do not get through the ARVA. Any ideas?

    Hi Peter,.

  • The mouse icon moves firmly around the screen

    Original title: floating freely icon mouse?

    When you move the icon on the screen, it does not move firmly/precisely...feels almost as another hand is control.

    Hi Claire,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    In order to help you better, please provide us with the following information:

    1. Using a wired or wireless mouse or a touchpad?
    2. Using a laptop or desktop?
    3. Check the behavior by plugging another mouse.

    According the description, I understand that the mouse icon is not mobile firmly across the screen. I suggest methods and check them off below if it helps:

    1. check your mouse for dirt or debris if you use a wired mouse. To check debris, flip the mouse and twist the casing around the ball. It should run free, allowing you to remove it. Check the mouse cover and the area around the compartment of mice for the forests of dust that can keep the ball from rolling freely.

    2. determine if a recent update is causing your mouse drifting on a laptop. Click on the "Start" menu and open the "Control Panel". Click on "System and Maintenance" and then click "Backup and Restore Center." Select a restore point and to reinstall updates one by one to determine what update causes your cursor problem.

    3. disconnect your mouse if you use a cable one and make sure that your USB port is free of debris. Plug the mouse back and if the problem is resolved.

    4 update your device driver by right-clicking on "My computer", then clicking on "Properties" and then clicking on the tab "Hardware" "Device Manager." Find your mouse driver, right click and select "update driver software".

  • OFFSET of mouse as _ any when the computer is something in the background. User/Windows interface, all, staggered as I use windows 3.1.

    Hello

    I'm really bothered by the fact that my trolling as _ mouse in Windows 7 any time of installation is done in the background, is opening a program or anything like that.  It seems to me as being the fact that we are not in 1995 over this issue should not occur.  How the _ did I have 8 GB of ram and a quad core i5-750 processor and my machine mouse is trolling as _ in these situations?

    Justin Hansen-

    You might consider replacing the battery in the mouse?  Or, try not to use any driver module and the software - just plug it in and use it.  It work?

    What if you start in safe mode, or with a boot or a boot device - have you noticed the behavior then?

  • Lose the Microsoft optical mouse settings

    Whenever I have reset my computer my mouse wheel to reset to 15 lines/click. I can't imagine that so many users want so high that it become the default, but what I can do to get the system of remember I want the value 1?

    It's a Microsoft Optical mouse.  In addition, a person will have to tell me how to learn more on this subject.  (Yes, I'm clicking on apply and exit properly...)

    I swapped the Microsoft mouse for some orphan one from the bottom of a pile of parts.
    It works very well.

    I am also very happy to get rid of the incredibly bad design from a mouse that has button fronts that record a click when it comes in contact with a corner of the keyboard.

  • Microsoft will make the D67 - 00001 Microsoft Trackball Optical Mouse ever?

    I went to buy a new one and just discovered, it is no longer made... This is the best mouse I've ever used. Everyone else is doing with the trackball of thumb?

    I did not use a conventional mouse shaped move-your-hand-across old style in several years and the another model of mouse tractball, I simply do not like. I REALLY enjoy Ashley style thumb trackball mouse, it leaves my fingers free to click the mouse buttons and I can easily turn and rotate in the game without having to move my hand at all.

    If I can't get more or if anyone makes them I want Microsoft to know that there are customers on here for them and that if they want to sell more of them, then I think that everything they really need to do is to advertise and make them available. It's the most comfortable mouse that I have ever owned, and there was a very short learning curve for her. I tried other mice with the trackball at hand, and I don't like them at all.

    Hello
