My mouse wonders around the desktop clicking where it wants and I cannot control it. Sometimer after I boot it will be okay for a while then it begins to become erratic.
When I look at my hardware list it tells me that I have two HID-compliant mouse devices. The drivers for both are the same mouclass.sys and mouhid.sys.
I have used services.msc and looked over the services disabling many and marking some as manual. I thought that stopped the erratic behaviour but after leaving it sit idle for a while it took off on its own again.
I am using the latest version of the free Avast and ran a full scan. The scan did not find any problems.
I replaced the ps/2 optical mouse with a new USB optical mouse and have the same problem. When I locate one I will try a ball type ps/2 mouse.
I’m using Windows XP SP3.
Any help available?
