I have a USB mouse.i have a win xp home edition .my mouse keeps on jumping on
the screen to a few frames.for example if i want to select my computer which
is on the left hand side of my current cursor position,i push the mouse left
side but it jumps few frames and misses my computer .then i have to go right
but again it misses few frames and jumps.why is this happening?

Things to try, making only one change at a time, testing after each
change:

1. What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?
2. What surface is the mouse on? Optical mice are fussy about the
surface, disliking glass or otherwise shiny surfaces, mousepads that
are patterned or too light, etc.
3. Try a different mouse.
4. Update mouse drivers.
5. Update video card drivers.

I've also noticed that if a hair gets stuck in there, that'll do it too...
Make sure the underside of the mouse is clean.

Cheaper optical mice tend to have that problem, what type of mouse do
you have?

Well the one it usually happened to me on was an MS Intellipoint Optical
Trackball.. Bought it in 2001 ... still use it to this day with my laptop
and occasionally my desktop machine .. Still works great!
