Mouse on the screen keeps moving on its own
My laptop has a 2 mouse pointers. One is a touchpad and the other is the red button in the center of the keyboard.
My problem is that the mouse keeps moving on its own. If i try using either of the 2 it still moves all over the screen. I have a Compaq EVO N610c laptop.
I think your mouse keeps moving on its own because there is a problem with the pointer (red button) on the keyboard. Apparently it’s broken and causing the mouse to move on it’s own. You’ll have to replace the keyboard.
Here’s how you can confirm if the problem is related to the red button. You can unplug the laptop keyboard from the motherboard and use the laptop with an external USB keyboard and touchpad. Most likely the mouse will not be moving on its own when the laptop keyboard is unplugged.

For some reason the letter m and the two buttons beside the letter L arent working when i type ( i know on here you can see i used the letter, but that was with the online keyboard) … why it is not letting me type those 3 keys??

My mouse works fine when I turn on my laptop, but after a while the pointer just twitches over to the top left corner all the time. And now when I use my tablet mouse instead, the pointer just shakes. These two things are very irritating since I end up clicking the wrong things. I have a Packard Bell EasyNote.

On that run away mouse. He is correct but you can also configure your mouse to include only the built in pad not the stick and the pads. This will be an easier way to detect this problem and cure it.
I know I just fixed mine.
Thanks,

Hi,
Just a point to make on this, I have a laptop and I travel between four different offices. In three office everything is fine, but in one office the second I turn on the laptop before I even login the mouse pointer goes crazy and moves to the right of the screen and I cannot control it.
When I go to another office everything is fine. Someone have any comments on this. Before you tell me this is not possible etc, let me say.
I have a BSc and a MSc in Computer Mobile Networking and Computer Science so I know a bit about computers.

I have a Toshiba Tecra M2 S730. When I first turn machine on, mouse pointer works fine…sometimes for hours. Other times, the pointer starts drifting by itself, sometimes off the screen. Sometimes, I am able to “force” the pointer back onto the screen with the button in the middle of the keyboard, and sometimes, I just have to turn the machine off. I am wondering if a mouse driver is out of date?ghbbb

Hi,
I’ve been facing a problem since I install XP SP2 in my IBM T30 series laptop. Previously there was XP with SP3 installed in the system.
I’m facing a problem with the middle key, its not opening a new tab in firefox as it was doing fine before. I thought that it could be the problem with firefox but when i checked its config everything seems fine. Middle key defaultly set to open new tab.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks

“Vertical Scrolling” My EVO N610C Touchpad kept scrolling after taking my finger off the pad. It would scroll up and down all by itself for however long it liked.
I tried a previous post suggestion to disable the “Eraser Mouse” button on the kepad, no difference.
This was mainly in IE7, Google Chrome did not work at all.
I had the latest driver installed from HP/Compaq, still goofy.
I finally went to Synaptic’s website, downloaded and installed a generic driver for it:

Downloaded the driver for 2K, Win XP 32
This cured the problem for me!

I recently had this issue with my Toshiba Tecra M5. I have had issues with the AccuPoint (eraser mouse) before, but moving it didn’t work this last time, so I ended up disabling both pointers (AccuPoint and touch pad) and using an attached mouse instead. This morning I noticed dirt or food on the touch pad, removed it, and re-enabled the pointers with no issues.

this isn’t necessarily to do with mice- but i couldn’t find somewhere else to write this.
i’ve had my Dell Latitude D530 for around 3 years, I’m only 16.
if i lean on the spaces beside the mouse and touch pad my laptop types what it fancies (usually complete crap) and often logs me off/switches user/shuts down my current windows.
its really annoying, cos i usually rest my hands on the laptop whilst typing.
what could it be??

My friend had a similar problem with his SONY laptop. I found the base was getting very hot and that the internal cooling fan was not active. It appeared to be overheating was causing the mouse tracking to behave this way. I removed the cover slots on the bottom and placed the laptop on a smooth cool surface hoping the add’l ventilation would give me time to see if this resolved the problem. It seemed to. I then downloaded and flashed the latest BIOS and made sure that all the latest drivers were loaded. After rebooting, the internal fan worked. I put the rear covers back on, left the laptop on for a couple of hours and the mouse was fine. So this particular laptop was being affected by the overheating. Hope this helps some of you with the same problems.

I found this solution on the net. On my Toshiba 6100 there isn’t a BIOS setting that can help nor does XP allow disabling the mouse. Upon deleting the driver XP only reinstalls it on the next boot.
The solution was to go into c:WINDOWS\system32\drivers and rename the file LMouFlt2.sys to something else (I used LMouFlt3.sys) and then reboot. Now surprising enough XP will allow disabling the mouse. You then reboot and you will have to use keyboard methods to get around but go in and rename the file back to LMouFlt2.sys.
I pressed the windows button and under run, I ran “cmd”. Then “cd windows\system32\devices”
then “rename LMouFlt3.sys LMouFlt2.sys”
reboot again.
