Mouse Pointer

On two of my PC's the mouse pointer has started to behave as if it has a mind
of its own. While moving it around, it will suddenly jump to some place off
the screen. I have checked the Hardware Manager and there are no conflicts.
I changed the mice from PS2 to USB and it made no difference. Any ideas,
anyone? Using XP Pro with SP3, by the way.

Use a dull, porous surface so the optical mouse can see the movement
with no reflection.
