Hi,

1. Does it happen with all the applications?

2. What is the type of mouse you are using? Is it wired or wireless?

3. Is it a laptop or desktop computer?

  1. What is the make and model number of the mouse?

Method 1:

I would suggest that you check if the mouse settings are correct.

  1. OpenMouse by clicking theStart button, clickingControl Panel, clickingHardware, and then clickingMouse .
  2. Click the Pointer Options tab, and then do any of the following:

Change mouse settings:

Method 2:

If this doesn’t help, then try booting the computer in safe mode and check if the same issue occurs, here is the link:

Method 3:

If it works fine in safe mode, then try performing clean boot and check if it helps, here is the link:

You can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to troubleshoot problems in Windows 7 by performing a clean boot.

Make sure that you put back the computer to normal startup mode once it is done.

Method 4:

If you are using touchpad, try reducing the Touch Pad sensitivity and check if it helps.

    DEFINITELY double check the touchpad (Method 4 from Azam K's response).  I eventually turned my pad OFF and got a mouse because if you hit it with your wrists or inadvertently slide the bottom part of your palm across it, it WILL jump ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!!

    I followed the steps you recommended but stopped at "go to sensibility". What is that "sensibility"?

    Thank you,

    no it doesnt do it in safe mode,what i need is a list of the services that load beyond safe mode and then your best guess as to which one of the sevices you think might be conflicting with the driver.. you know the one win7 loads when there is no other driver,One of win7's services at least one is conflicting with its own intstalled drivers how about that?I've already tried to shut off service and damn near crashed my computer,but i'm getting desperate to solve this! And if we can I think it might help alot of people I see posting with win764bit mouse problems.Oh yes i did a clean boot and it still did it its not the apps!
