    This is possibly the most annoying thing in the world. I'll be trying to move the mouse down to the bottom left hand corner of the screen to open up a program thats minimized to either the icon tray, or down on the toolbar. I'll go over it, and then the mouse will scatter off, It will work after 2-3 trys. Any ideas?

    I have searched for spyware, ad ware, viruses, the whole shabang. I have re-installed windows maybe, 3 times (not for this reason, but for things I couldn't fix), and re formated, I don't know 12 times?

    Any help?

    Probably not the reason but I figured I should ask some simple questions first.

    Have you tried your mouse on a different surface?

    and

    Have you tried a different mouse?

    Yeah, I tried this one Dell gamers mouse, and it happened more abundantly than this one does. I tried it on two other pads, still, the same result.

    Thanks.
