Hi, I don't know whether this is the right place to post this, but I have a problem:
Sometimes, my mouse moves randomly all around the screen and starts clicking somewhere. I cannot control it, and I have to wait for it to stop, and, usually, those random clicks close my windows or press buttons. I have a typical logitech three-button (one of them for scrolling) mouse.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Clean the mouse: watch for accidental vibrations
--for example heavy hitting(typing) on the keyboard
Check your mouse settings for time delays or click time(s) and adjust..

ok, thanks!, I'll follow your advice.
Re: Mouse moves randomly all around the screen and clicks
That really sounds like an electrical problem to me. I'd take that mouse apart and examine all solder connections with a magnifier. I had something similar happen several years ago with random cursor movements and random clicking of 'things'. It turned out to be an intermittent short in my keyboard that started the whole mess.
