Hi, sorry to add another post on mouse problems but I really searched in the internet and none of the solutions worked for me. I have a optical mouse, with a wire, on my laptop. My pointer randomly, sometimes every 10 seconds, sometimes not during 20 minutes, goes to to lower right hand corner of the screen. The destination area is not precisely defined, it is just a area in the corner, above the taskbar. The pointer goes there and sometimes makes a right click and than next time, clicks on an option like 'display properties', because it is close to the area. I've tried to unplug the mouse AND to disable the touchpad in the mouse option (control panel), the problem remains. I've looked at the precision optimization box but it is not available. I'm pretty sure it is not hardware but my avg antivirus doesn't detect anything strange.

Do you know a program to remove it? Thank you in advance.

That eraser looking plug in the middle of the keyboard? If so go into the touchpad properties and disable it. If not perhaps one of these links can help

Another mouse pointer problem
I have a optical mouse, with a wire, on my laptop.
My pointer randomly, sometimes every 10 seconds, sometimes not during 20 minutes, goes to to lower right hand corner of the screen.
The destination area is not precisely defined, it is just a area in the corner, above the taskbar.
The pointer goes there and sometimes makes a right click and than next time, clicks on an option like 'display properties', because it is close to the area.
I've tried to unplug the mouse AND to disable the touchpad in the mouse option (control panel), the problem remains.
I've looked at the precision optimization box but it is not available.
I'm pretty sure it is not hardware but my avg antivirus doesn't detect anything strange.
