I got a new imac g5 about 2 weeks ago, the problem is sometimes when i move my mouse the cursor will fly all the way to the opposite side of the screen, i am currently not using a mouse pad, could that be my problem? or is the mouse damaged?
It was very simple, and actually quite silly. I was not using a mouse pad, and my desk is a glossy stained wood, so that was conflicting with it. I just put some light blue colored paper underneith and now it works find.
Older technology optical mice had a special mouse pad that they used, as the mice would not work on normal surfaces. The technology was not there yet to pick up motion off of normal surfaces.
