Jerky mouse pointer

Hi all. In the last two months, my mouse pointer has become "jerky" that I have pass through or up and down the screen. I described as moving as if I had Parkinson's, or as he was moving on the surface of the moon.
It is a Laser Mouse 6000 USB MS wired mouse.
I uninstalled the old drivers (6.3) and reinstalled the drivers again, (7.0) but no difference.

I dug an old (new in box) PS/2 mouse into my junk mail box and tried just to see how it worked... and the pointer move smooth like silk. It becomes very difficult to even click on links, like the pointer jump to avoid... and the game has become almost impossible. (cannot be in a 1st person shooter).

I had someone suggest that it may be a bad cable or a connection where the cable enters the mouse, but short he rocks, there is no way to solve the problems that.
I think it's out of warranty, (about 2 years), so I'm stuck with trying to solve this problem, or replace a mouse $ 45.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.

BoomerD,
If this mouse is 2 years old and cleaning the optical lens has not helped, it goes bad and you need a new.  Depending on how much you use it, a mouse can last from a few months to a few years.  But if you use a lot, 2 years is a long life of a mouse.  Apparently it's a hardware problem, so it is not something we can do to help you.
Thanks for posting, Gloria

    Hi montee11,
    Maybe it's the menu of bookmarks? You can activate the menu bar in Firefox by:

    1. By clicking on '3' menu bar
    2. Click on + customize
    3. Show/hide toolbars and select Menu

    Placing the cursor on the Favorites button on the toolbar is more open automatically, but it opens when I click.

  • How can I solve a problem witht my mouse pointer when it gets to the very big chance?

    When I use Firefox, at seemingly random times, my mouse pointer becomes suddenly extra-large. The only 'solution' that I found is to restart the computer.

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • The mouse pointer works not

    Hi all

    I'm running 10 FF and my mouse pointer does not work, when I hover over a link/image, the pop up box that normally comes with a description in it does not appear.

    It only works in safe mode. I tried to restart FF with all add-ons disabled but it did not work, I manually disabled all add-ons but it still does not work, it only works when I'm in safe mode.

    All Extensions and Plugins are currently disabled, but I still have this problem.

    No idea how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, it seems like a problem with the Intel HD 3000 graphics, I double graph on my laptop and changed to make FF use nvidia graphics in place and now the mouse works perfectly.

  • Satellite M500 - Mouse pointer disappears when you play games online

    I have a brand new, custom configured M500 form Toshiba. It has Windows 7 Professional Enterprise, 64-bit edition. Everything worked great until I spent a lot of money on the game Star Trek Online. When I go in the game, the mouse pointer disappears. I can see on the screen change action items when the mouse hover over them but no pointer. It makes the game difficult. Then I tried another game online, Free Realms, and I have the same problem.

    I use a Logitech V220 Wireless mouse. I uninstalled the Logitech driver to see if that was the issue. I allowed Windows to use the default driver provided with the system. It does not work.

    I called Toshiba and they had me remove the device and selected Windows generic driver for that. It works no more. The guy on the line said it would enter my service call and that she would go to a senior technician and they would call me within 24 hours. It has been two weeks and not a glance.

    Anyone else has this problem or know of any other way I can try to solve it?

    Hello

    To me that sounds like this, there is a problem (incompatibility) between this online game and your external mouse...
    In your case I remove the mouse and uninstall the driver. Run CCleaner to clean the registry. Now try the touchpad online.

    More update the display and DirectX as Al - eX driver already written.

  • Re: Tecra M5 - mouse pointer move only

    Hello

    With many Tecra M5, we regularly have a crazy mouse problem. I explain: the mouse pointer move only as a ghost and go at the top of the screen. In this case, it is impossible to control the pointer with Touch Pad but I can't with the AccuPoint (with difficulty because the pointer still want to go on top). The Touch Pad Driver is version 6.0.304.6, the [last | http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport1.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2ftpdrv-20081007153100.zip |] Download here] and Windows XP SP3 (same problem with SP2).

    For now, they're just one solution, 3-4 tap on the touchpad to unlock and pointer control but when problem come every 15 minutes of use, it is bad. It looks like a software problem, but anyone know if a patch available?

  • The mouse pointer went crazy on NB100

    Started a download on the iTunes store, came back 30 minutes later to find my mouse pointer jump erratically in the vertical direction. Had to disable the synaptics pointing device driver and plug a USB mouse. After having rebooted and restart the mouse driver seems to work for most still until today where it does the same thing.

    If anyone else has experienced this? I came to the conclusion that the touchpad and keyboard on this device are just very poor indeed.

    Hello

    I never had a problem with my touchpad. I have to say that everything is working properly and also an external mouse/keyboard.

    Anyway, in your case, I would try reinstalling the driver for the touchpad, or have you tried it already? You can directly download the driver from Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also, you should also try to reinstall iTunes. Maybe it s causing this problem

  • Tecra S1: Move the mouse pointer

    From time to time my mouse pointer moves slowly upward or sideways. This happens once anchored and when not docked. In the latter case, I have an external mouse not attached.

    This problem is really annoying, especially when you try to hit a box for example.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    seasack

    Hi seasack

    If you use the pointer internal (the stick between GH and B), it is very common that the ca of pointer starts to move.
    The reason is a bit technical but very understandable.
    The mouse pointer works like a small joystick. Means that it is that you push forward, down, sideways and so on. However, please check the HOUSE or 0-position from time to time. When you're not, this would be a normal position of the HOUSE for us but it doesn't.
    It is therefore possible that it may be wrong to believe that the position of the HOUSE is when you push forward.
    If you stand and do not change the position of the needle for (I think) 2 separate controls the position of the HOUSE, this position will then be the new post HOME until the next time he finds another.
    Actual cases is not that extreme, of course, but more normal cases are that you bend your finger on the pointer when for example reading something on the screen. The pointer can recognize as a small boost, and if you do go, then he could have a new position of the HOUSE and start to drift or it could be "heavy" feeling in a certain direction.
    The solution? Simple! Leave it on for about 5 seconds and it will go away.

    If you have this problem, even if your not even using the pointer, then I guess you have a hardware problem.
    Try disabling the internal mouse by pressing FN + F9.

    Good luck

  • Escape the mouse pointer when you press the space bar

    My tecra has developed a problem where whenever I press the space bar, the mouse pointer out of the screen and the mobile guard in the upper right or sometimes down left for about 30 seconds then stops. happens in all weather conditions of applications that I use an optical mouse or the touchpad

    Hi Dave

    I had the same problem. Initially, the mouse was mad for 30 seconds, but shortly after, it was worse. I switched the keyboard and now everything is ok.

    Of course, the pointer of the mouse was defective. I'm sure that in your case the problem is the same.

    Good luck!

  • Portege 3110 - need Accupoint driver mouse pointer for Win2K

    Hello.

    I've installed Windows 2000 on my old Portege 3110. Windows has installed a generic driver, which does not work with Accupoint integrated mouse pointer. I installed all the drivers for Toshiba laptop, in the order given, but it doesn't always work. Windows does not display an Accupoint driver.

    Where can I get the driver? The two buttons on the keyboard do not work.

    Thank you, Darren.
