Then boom, the pointer is completely somewhere else. I had a similar problem when using my mouse on top of my Intuos tablet. Change the surface you are using the mouse on. The infrared reflects or refracts off of some surfaces including the "newer" mousepads with the slick surfaces. Try just putting a sheet of paper or carboard under the mouse. If that fixes it go for something more permanent like one of the cloth-covered mousepads or other non-reflective material. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
