Mouse and browser issues

Hello everyone, I am posting this because my mouse and browser are close to driving
me to the edges of insanity. For about a week now, my mouse has been behaving irratically
for some reason. I am using a wired optic mouse (no mouseball) of the TRUST brand,
on windows XP. It has never been a problem for about 1,5 years, but for some reason,
it now acts very weird;
- it sometimes randomly decides to stop moving (the cursor doesn't respond, but the
mouse's optic laser does respond)
- The cursor just decides to jump over the screen randomly (including during any
games I play)
- while moving it, it sometimes causes my browser (Mozilla firefox, the latest) to
just behave weird (browsing to the previous/next page etc)
Sometimes a reboot seems to help, but not always. It can go well for half a day,
or it can be a total b*tch for hours in a row. I tried using another mouse, a standard
one with a mouseball, but it had the same results. I'm fairly sure its related to
the pc motherboard, but I'm not to sure about it either. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated
-michel
PS
for example, I tried to carefully move the cursor to the "post message" button, and
it simply went back to the previous page. help ¬_¬;...
