Problem with SP2-mouse cursor moves of its own accord.

[El-dred]

Since having installed SP2 from the Microsoft download as
per 'your',(being Microsofts), instructions, I have found
to my amusement that my mouse cursor moves around
the 'windows' desktop of its own volition!!!... YES, I
have tried all the usual 'fixes' like uninstall-reinstall
drivers for the mouse, etc, etc, but to no avail. So guys
& gals, any suggestions on how to fix this annoying
little 'bug'... Anything would be much appreciated.
Regards & best wishes for the rest of this year, so on &
so forth, M.

UNcheck "Enhance pointer precision" under Pointer Options in Mouse
Properties.

Has the Screen resolution changed? Control Panel, Display, Settings.
(And possibly Advanced for other adjustments)
