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

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 ¬_¬;...
