Solution: The Phenomenon of disobedient mouse pointers jumping to one corner of the screen is called 'leaping mouse'.This problem can occur because of a number of problems .The causes can either be software issues , loose connectivity or even unclean insides of your mouse.Frequent cleaning can always help.Many people have the misconception that optical mouse do not need all the attention that roller mice need but then there is a chance that even a strand of hair can enter your optical mouse and render it useless.You should check the optical sensor below the mouse and do away with any kind of dust or debris of food on the base .Change the mouse pad if it has a reflecting surface and replace it with a rougher surface like paper.

Also it may be possible that your mouse driver has corrupted.The mouse driver software may have clashed with another software applicationor hardware device causing the device to malfunction.You can uninstall and then reinstall the driver or rollback it to check if it works.The steps are as follows:

Step 1: Go to 'Start|Settings|control Panel'

Step4: Select the name of your mouse from the available lisrt and select 'Properties'
