the accuracy of the pointer on your computer, mines a good 10mm out and its begining to pox me off >:(

Very bizarre!
Have you tried unplugging and reconnecting?
Control Panel, Mouse is all the options you get, and not normally any calibration apart from double click speed etc
-
Ive been through the mouse settings on the control panel, I'll try unplugging ;)

Do you use a wireless mouse....if so check the batteries,if mine are low on power it buzzs about and is a right pain too use.

sounds like the mouse has been dropped and the optic sensor has been knocked out of alignment.
See if you can borrow another mouse to confirm it.
If it works then time to buy a new mouse, if not then it could be a port issue, I assume you are using a PS2 slot try going through a USB again see if the same happens

Clean the breathers, or if that's been done already then do the paperclip test.
-
If it's the one with the rubber ball in the bottom Pete, try taking it apart and cleaning all the crap of the bars that have the wheel on the ends.

Lol.....it wont be mouse specific.....how can it be....the pointer is on the screen and its not pointing at the bit its activating so it MUST be software.
The old trick was to unplug the mouse and keyboard and let it boot....then plug the mouse and kyboard back in.

Its an optical one, came with the new Dell tower and its been like this for weeks. I think i'll go and buy a new one, there cheap enough.
Cheers Everyone :y

Lol, I cant beleave that people think its the mouse.
All the mouse does it tell teh compute to move the pointer in a directiona dn at what speed.....its got no impact on the relationship between the end of the pointer and the bit activated!
Note also, its a common Dell fault apparantly!

Its not the mouse. It could be corruption in the pointers graphics, driver, or software if its specific to 1 app.

I also read somewhere that turning the schemem off can sort it.
So, control panel + mouse + pointers tab.
Click the drop down scheme menu and select none then hit apply.
