cursor keeps jumping

My cursor keeps jumping intermittently and randomly when I type messages in IE6.0 and Outlook express (including this one).
What's wrong?
I have tried reinstalling IE6.0, and have updated all drivers and windows updates.

Mine only does it here.It will move up the screen slowly.I first thought it was the wire pulling on the mouse causing it.That is not the case it did it last night and the mouse was not moving.I am curios as to what this might be. I have scanned for infection and spyware and nothing turned up.

Victor you might have your mouse settings snap to box checked? go to control panel/mouse/pointer options and see if snap to box is checked. if so uncheck and see if it cures it. good luck.
