mine is wired too and does that all over the place, not real often anymore though now that I updated the driver a bit. It doesn't sound like a mouse problem you have though if it's only in the browser, and doesn't happen to me in any of the browsers so I'll assume this may be a Win7 issue.

I use Windows 7 and IE 8 with a wireless mouse on my Toshiba laptop and I have no issues.

well you don't count Scott you never have any issues with anything anyone ever reports LMAO :P does sound like a Win 7 issue to me though, not an issue with windows itself, but maybe something he has installed or a driver conflict or something like that most likely.

Well, I'll post since Scott's credibility is in doubt :lol:

I'm on Win7 (fresh from Vista) with wireless keyboard and mouse, wired trackball. Using IE8 or any other browsers, I've never seen that issue...

I had seen it before, on my laptop, when I had the touchpad activated and it was on the verge of death.

Scott has a 'holy Mac', it never makes mistakes. :cool:

I have also experienced this on laptops if the touchpad is not turned off.

You know, I think it was the touchpad on the laptop. Forgot to disable it after installing Win7. I'm thinking the desktop is fine and I only included it in all my frustration (memory leak). Now don't I feel silly.

Thanks for the help. :D
