Mouse pointer behavior

I have observed following behavior of mouse in my office PC and also even on PCs that are in the conference rooms in the office.

When I am moving the mouse, sometimes (not too frequently) it just disappears for a fraction of a second and appears to be present at some other corner, i.e. it suddenly jumps to some other location on screen though I am moving it slowly and smoothly.

Though it’s not a big problem, it’s a bit annoying!
Office PC config is P4 2.2 Ghz, Win XP SP2 with all applicable patches / fixes till date.

I would suggest change the Mouse with any other system of your office, see then what happens

if u r usin a laser mouse then that can be due to rough surface.

That used to happen with me on ball mouses due to the amount of the goo and dust and what not inside it, stuck to the ball. I cleaned it once every month and the problem never cropped up after that ..
