I mean the cursor -- it happens with the pointer and with the I-beam,
depending on which application or window is active. Just jitters
around.
I use a pretty fast acceleration and such, but none of those settings
have changed recently. I did clean the mouse and surface, but it
still jitters and jiggles around.
It's an optical mouse and pad, both bought a week ago. No problems
until today. I don't know anything about drivers. No software in the
box. I just plugged it in. Where do I find a better chauffer?
