			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the other day…&#160; My mouse on my home computer just started shaking, shaking and acting very erratic.&#160;&#160; This was well after April fools day so I was fairly certain I wasn’t being punked.</p>
<p>Items plugged into this laptop are/were:</p>
<p>+ a <a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/165&amp;cl=us,en">Logitech VX Revolution (Wireless) Mouse</a>.</p>
<p>+ a <a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&amp;cl=us,en">Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard (also wireless).</a></p>
<p>+ a USB cable into my USB KVM which also shows up as a mouse/HID device</p>
<p>+ a Bluetooth presentation mouse, though not currently active.</p>
<p>I did the normal trouble shooting steps.&#160;&#160; Made sure my anti-viri software was up-to-date. Plugging and unplugging mice and keyboards.&#160; I *thought* it was the diNovo Edge as it also has a little track pad.&#160;&#160; It would go away for a while but not permanently.</p>
<p>It made using the computer almost impossible.</p>
<p>After a little more research I found technet Article: The Microsoft mouse pointer moves erratically or does not respond when you use a Microsoft pointing device # <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321122">Q321122</a> and was appalled at the 82 steps it took to fix this.&#160;&#160; Why this is still an issue after almost 2 years, and why since it is an issue that there isn’t a utility to deal with the 2000 registry entries I had to manually delete is beyond me.</p>
<p>But if your mouse suddenly gets the shakes.&#160; You may want to look into this.</p>
<p>FWIW, deleting all the devices from the device manager had a greater impact than deleting all the registry entries.</p>

<p><em>No offense was intended to those that actually have Parkinsons disease and shake like my mouse was shaking.&#160; It would be nice if you could eliminate a few drivers and registry entries to get rid of it.</em></p>
