Mouse cursor jumping like crazy

[wanchan]

The symptom started appearing about two weeks ago. My Logitech cordless mouse's cursor is jumping like crazy. It is like not the mouse cursor chasing subject on my desktop but I am chasing the mouse cursor. When I try to focus the mouse cursor on something the cursor will for example suddenly run all the way to the Windows Start button. It is driving my bananas

First I thought it was hardware problem - the mouse was old (like 4-5 year old), then I tried some other mice laying around. The result was the same - jumping mouse cursor.

Then I uninstalled the Logitech mouse driver and tried to use Windows native mouse driver. The same result - jumping mouse cursor.

I am totally lost at the moment. Is it a hardware or software problem? What is wrong with my mouse?

Any hints? Thanks!!!

Does any one else can use your pc? There are funny apps which make different illusions or bugs...I have the one which can make the cursor move in different ways...Check Sturtup, you may find there smth unknown.
