Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Cursor flies to the top of screen.

I think the title says it all.
It's not the mouse, it's not the mousepad -- I just had both replaced, and the problems existed prior to and post switch.
Although I guess they're both laser mice ... anyway.
I do have my mousepad on top of my tablet, in case that is of importance.
So what happens is, I'll be mousing around, foruming, TF2ing, whatever -- and suddenly, the mouse cursor will just fly up to the top of the screen. It happens about once an hour, I guess.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Yes, it is.
Would that affect it?
Crud, is this going to be one of those "one post thread locked" H/A threads >_<
if both work seperate from eachother than the only thing left is that they are together

does the mouse do it in other computers?
Sometimes the plastic ones like to play with the laser and make it think its moving.
Have you tried the tablet mouse that's probably stuffed in a box or a drawer somewhere in your house?
I switched from a Logitech mouse to a Razer mouse, problem remains
Mousepad is a Razer "Goliathus" (fabricy normal mousepad)
It's happened to me too! It makes me motion sick when I'm playing an FPS and suddenly I'm staring up at the sky.
How expensive was the original mouse, and how expensive is the replacement? I've found this is an extremely common problem with cheap laser mice.

Original mouse came with the machine (but probably a 20$ mouse), new mouse is about 85$ at regular cost.
I just turned off the enhance pointer precision last night, actually, and it's still doing the same crap.
How do I make the crosstalk stop, if the tablet isnt plugged in? Is there somewhere I can go and uncheck tablet stuff or something?
Above all, thank you betelgeuse, for your empathy.
I know it's not a whole lot of help since I've never been able to figure out a reason for it, but you aren't alone in the behavior at least!

If you are using Windows you can do this in the Device Manager. It should be under Human Interface Devices.
In a related knowledge-base article MS advised to just uninstall everything under mouse or HID and reinstall the necessary drivers. I'd get the newest drivers before doing this, obviously.
