Hello Teri Lee,
are you by any chance using an old ball type mouse?
They are prone to jumping around when they get dirty.
They can be cleaned but at a cost of around $10 and up at Staples.
I keep a few on hand.
I've had 2 Microsoft intelipoint USB optical mice go bad on me in 4 years
of use.
One would work some of the time the other one became jumpy.
My last 3 came from garage sales this summer for about $2 each.
They work well<G>
Cheers
Mike the mod

Hummm ... this problem came out of nowhere and baffles me .
I can be typing in an E-Mail when suddenly the courser jumps in the middle
of another line that's already written . Or it jumps out of the message
body
completely . Or starts a new line out of the blue .
Usually I can catch it and place it back at the end of the line being
written ... but of course some obscene words are uttered .
I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2 on an Acer laptop . I have a
Malware Bytes Anti Malware program installed as well as Spybot Search and
Destroy and Windows Defender . My firewall and virus control is Trend Micro
PCcillin .
If anything I am overly protected almost to the point of over kill .
