Is your computer haunted?

Don't know about your mouse Tealeaf but I once had a haunted video recorder that switched itself on and off and recorded things it fancied.
 
I have an optical mouse and the cursor often goes wandering across the screen on its own, usually from right to left but occaisionally from down to up. what does this mean?

As to the jiving mouse, I confess that I am at a loss to explain it, but I am sure that there is a thoroughly mundane reason for it - there always is.
 
I have a laptop but I have connected an optical mouse as I prefer it to the pad. It's a USB one which is good as I don't have one of those round connectors.

I have a wireless optical mouse and keyboard, and it went a bit funny recently, so I changed the battery, which fixed it.

Maybe there was something playing with the cable which was moving it
 
Not long ago i worked where we used an interactive white board and that had a mind of it's own. The mouse kept drawing lines, etc on the board. Very weird.
 
i have some cordless headphones which are realy spookey,, they dont have to plugged into anything ,but i get americans on and it sounds like they are on a ship other times it sounds like some americans (again ) are on a rifle range ,theres shooting and some choice language,, i thought maybe it was picking up the coastguard or something.. realy scarey...
 
If it was a laser mouse, I would be able to understand it.

Last week mine was playing up something rotten!!...........moving on its own, not moving when i wanted it to, that kind of thing.
After a couple of days of banging it real hard on the computer desk (this didn't make a difference by the way):D , I thought I would investigate.

To my amusement, a stray dog hair had got lodged in it which sent the mouse cuckoo, one good blow (no innuendos please) and it was up and running again!!;)
 
No innuendo's slinky:eek: thats a first LOL!!!!!!!

Why dont people stay with good ole fashion serial wheel mouse like me i dont have problems with mine as it knows ive many more mouses in the house to use - that seems to do the trick :) lol
 
I have tried using the mice with the ball, and they always, without exception, stop working properly after a few weeks - I open up the mouse and there is all sorts of stuff stuck to the rollers.

It's optical all the way for me, and if its wireless, then even better!
 
I've had the wandering cursor thing like A-b where the mouse stays put but the cursor shoots (or ambles depending on how energetic it's feeling) across the screen from right to left, or from bottom to top. It has even happened at times when I've been holding the mouse so I know that isn't moving yet off goes the cursor on a journey of its own.



 
tea-leaf when someone spills copious amounts of beer on the table i have seen glasses slide around and ashtrays ! ask less he has performed this trick on numerous occasions....:D ....was just wondering if you have knocked over a bottle of the old claret stuff?
 
Prefer the ghost theory to a booze covered table either that or some very big and full wagons passing. Maybe someone or something was making ther earth move.

I'm having a blonde moment ...... what's an optical mouse please ........ is it one that I was describing as a laser mouse, one with the red light underneath? :o
 
i had the cursors and mouse moving and i had an optical mouse. Doesnt do it now though because i found out when i asked someone. Turned out that it was to do with the mouse mat i was using and as soon as i stopped using the mouse mat it stopped. The mouse mat was patterned and that was why it was going crazy.
