I'm pretty sure this is fine here. My mouse pointer on my works pc is possessed. It keeps moving around the screen and clicking itself, it even does this when I take the batteries out of it. I'm using a Microsoft wireless optical 2.0.

Does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on as it's really buggin me now and this is the 4th time I've had to type this out due to it going crazy.
 
VNC (or similar) installed on the machine? Someone in the office playing silly buggers?

What's VNC?

Also the people in my office hardly know know what they are doing at the best of times.
 
sounds like the network admin or someone is playing games with ya, my IT tutor used to do that to us to **** us off, but to be safe the run a virus/ spyware scan.
BTW, VNC (Virtual Network Computing (i believe)) - basicaly remote desktop, control the other persons pc through mouse and keyboard, which then relays the screen updates back.
 
does it look like the mouse knows what its doing i mean is it clicking programs or is it going nuts cuz my moneys on a remote connection of some kind.
 
There are 2 other wireless mice nearish to me, and the pointer is randomly moving around with no idea where it's going. I wasn't sure if there was some kind of interferance making it do this.
 
Re-establish the wireless link between your mouse and it's base using the buttons underneath each.
