    Have you had a look in Control panel -> mouse, and looked at the settings in there? You can make it smoother and quicker

    Clean it and reseat the cable on the motherboard?

    Or try synaptics drivers.

    Is it wandering, or just unresponsive?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Unresponsive.. i.e while i move my finger across it the icon will stutter saying my fingers going on and off the pad and obviously the mouse would jitter and not work properly :)

    Ive never opened up a lappy.. tis dell inspiron 6000 so not too confident with that...

    Its on and off.. working fine now :S
