Hi,

Hope this will help. Go to Control Panel/Mouse/Pointer Option/Snap To and
uncheck Automatically move pointer to the default button in dialog box.

I have this same problem - have had it since starting to use Vista. The
mouse will randomly move back to the Start button or to the upper
right-hand corner of my display where there is a tool bar (ACER supplied
software). I am using an optical mouse on a wood-grain desk. If anyone
can send me instructions on how to correct this or where to find a patch
I'd greatly appreciate it. BTW - I used the same desk with XP and an
optical mouse and did not have this problem.

Are you using the MS or Logitech drivers? If not, revert to the MS drivers
and see if the same problem occurs. This sounds like a driver problem. The
only other time I have seen mice move on their own is when the mouse tail
(cord) was hanging off the desk and dragging the mouse across the desk.
This tends to move the mouse up and to the side of the desk.

I use vista and was having the same problem. That pointing device to
default button was unchecked and I am using a Dell USB mouse. I recently
read somewhere something about multimedia devices or photo editing
softwares running in the background could cause that. Pretty
weird/peculiar. So I checked my msconfig and Task Manager and found two
files by Windows Media Center. I disabled them and its been 24 hours -
the problem hasn't retured. I have had it since I installed Vista. My
cousin doesn't use a mouse and has the same problem. So I am guessing,
it might not be the mouse, just vista. Who knows. Worth a try!
