Problems with mouse

[dutchfan]

I'm having similar problems... My mouse randomly jumps around the screen
and activates any open windows (as if mouse buttons are being pressed)
for several seconds. After this it is usable as normal but the problem
reccurs intermittently on average every 5 minutes.



I have a serial mouse and Dapper 6.06, on an Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop
(which includes a touchpad). I see that several people on the forums
are having similar problems but I do not see any posted solutions yet.
Any help would be appreciated. If there is any additional information
that I could provide to help track the problem I'd be happy to try, but
I am a noob and might need detailed instructions.



Thanks!
