Dear friends:
Sorry to interrupt all the system 7.0 talk with a mundane question,
but I'm slowly going mad.
The trouble is my mouse (more precisely, the cursor) jumps (about 20
pixels) every now and then. This happens both at home and at work where
I have virtually identical systems:
Mac IIci
System 7.0
however I'm sure it's not a system 7.0 problem -- the same thing was
happening under 6.05. I was hoping it would disappear under 7.0.
I am an anti-init type -- I have tried permutations on the few that
I do have -- with no luck. Anyway, somethings I have that may be
causing trouble:
MacTCP
NCSA Telnet
AfterDark 2.0
Norton Utilities
Public Folder
Broadcast
Has anybody else experienced this? (Also -- I have done my n'th
blood test with the latest virus detection stuff -- no virusus were
found.)
cheers,

But then I helped a friend install 7.0 on his standard II and his started doing the same thing. The mouse will jump backwards and forwards, sometimes completely negating the physical movement of the mouse. It seems more pronounced horizontally than vertically as well. Anyone? Anyone? Thanks!

Me too! Everyone kept telling me to clean it, but that didn't help...

The problem didn't start though until after I upgraded my 45meg sysquest to 7.0 and let it rebuild the 6.0.7 system disk. when I use the system it is mostly with 6.0.7 and no disk in the syquest drive. I wonder if something is being done by 7.0?
