I have a Dell XPS running XP. Occasionally, my optical
mouse will go nutso and fly to a corner of the screen. I
move it back to the center no real problem just annoying.
Well I got a Thrustmaster Afterburner II joystick and I
am playing BF 1942 and all of a sudden my plane just
starts doing loops like the joystick center configuration
is messed up. I go to the game controllers setup and it
says the joystick is ok and working properly. I calibrate
it just to be sure and as I watch the test area the
joystick cursor moves around without me touching the
joystick. I call Dell and they have me delete all the
things under my usb area of the device manager. I restart
and it seems to be okay. Then I play some more and my
mouse goes crazy again and I looking straight up and the
game is spinning. Could it be a usb thing? 1.1 devices
not liking 2.0?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
 
Greetings,

Have you tried updating your drivers or software for your Joystick or your
optical mouse. And do make sure you update your computer regular - Windows
Update.

Thanks and best of luck!
