· Hello, I have been having an issue with one of the employee's excel programs in my office. We are running the 2007 edition. When opening a document in excel the. · I am using an HP Omnibook and whenever I run my Excel or Word, my mouse pointer disappears when I mouseover to the worksheet. It reappears when its pointing to. Why does the mouse pointer jump around the screen? Welp, I’ve now spent the evening researching this problem. It seems that it is very common and not specific to my “Generic Logitech Laser Mouse w/ PS/2 cord.” It is USB but came with the PS/2 port plug already in so I don’t have to take up my preciousss USBs. Anywho. I’ve been playing the Online MMO, Lord of the Rings Online. This features an ability to walk by pressing the right then left mouse buttons and ability to steer and scroll wheel the camera as well. However my mouse has started (for a month if not longer.) to do this jumping and causing my character to go into a 3. I release my mouse buttons. Really freaky when your character is trying to avoid falling off a cliff by just a few meters. It’s also affecting The SIMS2 and my Internet Explorer web browsing. Upon my research, I’ve come across many posts about jumping mouse cursors, who have updated cordless mice drivers, who have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, visited Microsoft’s website for drivers, bought completely new mice, changed some of the different settings in Control Panel, changed their USB mouse into a PS/2, and some folks even moved their Wacom tablets or wireless keyboards farther away to avoid odd interferences, changing to a more solid colored mouse pad non- glossy and just so many multiple ideas. And none of them seem to have come back saying that their mouse has stopped jumping, in fact one person kept coming back and still has the demon- possessed jumping mouse. There was even some joking to call a priest, OY!)Personally I’ve adjusted my mouse settings in control panel, and it’s okay for now, but I am only typing and not gaming at the moment. I’ve gone through a few mousepads, and this problem was occuring before I got this new freebie glossy- ish one. It’s glossy though and I’m thinking a solid colored (felt?) mat would also improve performance if not help eliminate my mouse problem. My cords are always getting tangled onto of my desk (mouse, headset, keyboard, speakers) and I was not sure if maybe something snapped or broke in my mouse’s cord.
No point to my post other than to say I’m glad I’m not alone with this curiousity and find it very annoying.
