is it new enough to have shipped with Windows 7? just curious
I'm beginning to wonder if the cursor jump thing is some kind of well-hidden virus/worm that's going around or a broken patch MS put out. I've had 3 desktops start doing that in the last 5 months and I've replaced the Human Interface Devices (tried multiple varieties, including a drawing tablet) on all of them to no effect.
voting in favor of disabling all non-essential mouse-pad functions. personally recommend the thumb trackballs that fit around your finger, but I have a penchant for track balls *g*
Would also recommend dumping Vista (if you got stuck with it) and upgrading back to XP, but that's largely personal bias, so take with copious amounts of salt. ;)
