Hi, guys, I am also facing the same problem, at first, I thought it was the problems caused by the viruses, but then, even I didn't connect to the internet or LAN, the problems still occured, can anyone help us with it??
Is it the problems of the mouse?? Or the OS?? Or the drivers??
Thanks!

If your mouse pad is glossy or has designs, it can cause an optical mouse to be erratic. Try a solid color like gray or black.

I am not sure if it is caused by the background, but I don't think so, since I am using it on a wood surface, I think it should be ok, not sure. I called Dell Technical Support for that, they told me to use it on a white background for the best usage, but even I use it on a white paper, like a book, it still acts like that.
Can anyone help me out with it?? Thanks a lot.

I had the same problem. Dell replaced my mouse and it worked better, but would still jump from time to time. Started to use a total black mouse pad, the problem went away. The pad that Dell supplies, I believe is causing this problem, they need to supply a better pad, one that works.
