Hi, my mighty mouse used to work wonderful until just recently. Now it sporadically pops in the corners. This is extremely annoying because I have the corners set to do things such as bring up dashboard, screen saver, etc. Can someone please tell me what is going on here and how to fix this? Thanks.

Check the surface you are using the mouse on. Surfaces with repeating patterns (such as printed matter, some textiles, etc) can cause them to be jumpy. If you put a sheet of plain white paper under the mouse and use it that way, does the problem go away? If so, then it's a repeating pattern that's goofing it up. (All non-laser optical mice suffer from this.)
