Mouse jerking

Ok this is weird, but sometimes my mouse will jerk to the left of the screen. It happens alot when I'm 3d modeling with 3ds max, and its really annoying so does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you using a ball mouse, or a lense mouse?

~Ball Mouse: Clean The Ball
~Lense Mouse: Don't use on glass, crappy mousemats, or in the air.

also try taking it out and plugging it back in

Its optical, but I think it might be a windows thing because my friend said that the same thing happens to him and he uses a touch thing on those laptops.

Corrupted.It happens to Touch Pads on Laptops.Go into BIOS and disable it.

What do you mean by corrupted, because its happening in Vista too.

The mouse pad hardware is corrupted maybe.

At first when I saw the thread I thought you meant the mouse itself was jerking instead of your cursor.

I'm using an optical mouse, not a touch pad thing. So do you think another mouse would do the trick?

Get a mousepad, my mouse does that when I use it on hard surfaces, they just don't work well on non-mousepadded surfaces; even though people say they do, which they don't...

The mouse pad type is not really the answer. I use a proper Dell one and the same problem happens to me. Just make sure the space between the laser and the surface is not obstructed by any type of dirt or lint.

Or if that method does not work, go to the control panel situated in your computer and then click on mouse. Click the hardware tab-properties-driver, then click roll back driver. This overrides any corruption that could have happened.

Should I add that it was a clean installation? Its not a driver issue, I'm considering swaping it for a mouse at my school that are identical, is that technically stealing?

try cleaning the lens. with something very smooth that won't scratch it. lenscloth if you have it.
