I have a problem with my mouse pointer where it will suddenly move to another location on the screen when I'm using it.
Another problem is that the 'show mouse tracks' option does not work with my mouse.For your information,when I was using Win98SE,the 'Device Manager' under 'System Properties' will show that the mouse is not working properly because my bios is reporting the device wrongly.
But then when I upgraded the OS to WinME,the same problem occurs but this time the 'Device Manager'shows that my mouse is working properly.
Instead,in the System Information under 'Problem Devices' it shows: "Device:ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering Error code:22 PNP Device ID:ACPI\*PNPOCOF\00000003"

Sorry for the long question.Thank you.

I find surprising that a PC bios can detect the mouse at startup, I have never seen one so far.

You can try the following:
1)try to disable the mouse d?tection in the bios. If it is possible, your bios manual should tell you where.
2)if you have an item that say:"pnp os", select yes(so that windows can rearrange the IRQ assignment)
3)boot windows and erase the driver for the mouse
4)reboot
5)try reinstalling an updated version of your driver.

good luck
