I have a a PC goes crazy after sitting for a while. When the mouse is moved, it looks like the icons are being pushed around on the desktop. I have turned off the screensaver and it still does it. Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing this? How can it be fixed?

I agree with Anna, that a virus is the most likely cause.

If that fails, do you work with any "practical jokers"?

There are "jokeware" programs that can be set to move your icons, and perform other strange acts with your mouse.
Press Alt-Ctrl-Del, and see if any "abnormal" programs are running.
