Twitchy Mouse

Hello

I have just purchased an imac 17" and seem to have it running fine. There is one small problem - often the mouse jumps to the edge of the screen. There appears to be no particular position it goes to but it does mean that you may inadvertantly open a progam from the dock by mistake.

Is there anything I can do to stop thiss from happening?

This happened to me a lot with a Mighty Mouse. I found it stopped when I changed the mousemat to a piece of carpet!!

Before that it jumped on a couple of mats with printed pictures on them. It was OK on the table. When I looked closely at the two mats, I noticed that the pictures were screen printed - that is, they were made up from a lot of small dots of different colours, but dots on a regular grid pattern.

I assume that the regular dots confused it. Because, the jumping started again when I went back to the old mat - I spilt a cup of tea on the carpet one!!

I now have a proper "carpet" mouse mat.

Thank you, I shall give that a try!http://macosx.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif
