Do you mean the cursor is not moving smoothly on the screen? Or that the mouse will not move smoothly on the surface you are using it on?


If the cursor is jerky, try using the mouse on a different surface, a very shiney surface often confuses the optical sensor so the cursor will move in spurts rather than a continuous path.


Same for a physical hangup - try a different surface incase the bottom of the mouse is sticking to the surface for some reason. Make sure the bottom of the mouse is clean and does not have any sharp edges.
