My mouse has suddenly started moving on it's own. It creeps up and to the left in tiny increments. Its a laser mouse, and this happens regardless of whether it's sitting, held in the air, or suspended.

I'm also still having various problems with ALL interface and on Youtube I cannot reply to anything that isn't on the first page of video comments.

If this is more problems with Firefox, I sure hope they update some fixes soon. I do not like change, and I feel google has become too powerful as it is.
 
I was having similar problems with my firefox. :p
Among other ones. So I just reinstalled it and that seems to have fixed it.
 
That sounds like a hardware problem to me. My next step would be to try that device with another PC and see if I could recreate the condition as described. If so, time for a new mouse.
 
I love how mouse issues get equated with Firefox, lol.

Anyway, its most likely an issue related somehow to your hardware or your driver. Try a different mouse.
 
Try cleaning your mouse. Some hair or dust or something might have gotten into the little area with the lazer. That can make your mouse move.
 
has no one thought that this could be something bigger than just hardware problems?
it sure sounds alot like poltergeist problems to me... do you hear foot steps in the dark or bed shaking randomly?

;)
 
Well, to be fair, the most likely culprit is a small hair or carpet fiber that has gotten into the led of the mouse.

This sounds about right to me. However, given the fact that the mouse is consistently moving in one direction strongly suggests satanic possession.

STRAIGHT TO HELL.
 
Hey everyone. Yeah the mouse was acting up for quite a while. Managed to fix it by tightening the wire.

However, last night, while recording articles for my new video "the gospel of hitler" it briefly started acting up for about a minute and then somehow fixed itself.
 
1) Your mouse is oversensitive and being pulled in back because the cord is too tight. Move the computer closer to the mouse.

2) If it is literally moving on its own, it could be someone taking over your computer. There's something called Remote Assistance, that allows this for something like tech support (having someone do something on your computer for you, instead of telling you).

thanks but it only ever moves in one direction: northwest, till it reaches the upper left corner. Well it hasn't bothered me lately. Your 1) was right on the money.
 
No, but there should be. We need more animals in the PC world. So far we have Mouse and Ram. Maybe they should make dog drives and portable CAT scans. We could make a whole game of relating PC components to animals.
