You didn't say whether you uninstalled and updated all your drivers, so possibly something to do with the mouse drivers maybe?

Oh hehe Yes, I even had toe NC support help with drivers
I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself.... I'm going to take that.
You now have Vista, but previously had XP Professional? Or the other way around?
Did you upgrade, or do a full wipe/install?
Try using a wired mouse for a while. Signal interference could be causing the jittery wireless mouse. Also, if the mouse is usually part of a keyboard/mouse package, the interference could be causing what the wireless receiver interprets as keyboard input as well.
www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.
New or returning to the game? Want advice from experienced players who want to help YOU?

No, I had vista, but now have xp.
I did a full reformat
And I will go buy a wired mouse and give it a shot...Heck, if it dont work, I am sure I can return it saying that its defective or something hehe.

I use a NX wireless mouse. Since starting to play the game over a year ago, Sometimes I would auto run without touching any keys, My mouse jumps randomly around the screen, while typing, sometimes it will just automaticaly erase everything I have written (In game and out of game) or will randomly jump to a different part of what I am typing and finish typing what I was typing someplace else....

Some things to consider:
* Battery / power: if the mouse uses an internal rechargeable battery pack, it could have weakened over time, and not be providing quite enough power for reliable operation. (Hopefully if it used normal batteries you'd have already tried replacing them.)
* Radio interference: all sorts of things can interfere with the radio signal. Depending on what band it's in, microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, video senders, and who knows what else. Other wireless keyboards and mice are particularly likely to be a problem.
* Gunk: Hopefully if it's a ball mouse you know to clean the little rollers inside, but way too many people don't. Fewer people realize you need to carefully clean the optical sensors on a LED or laser mouse every so often as well. A small piece of fluff up in the optical path can cause all sorts of weird effects, as can a speck of gunk on the sensor itself. The lenses are likely plastic and who knows what sort, so don't use any solvents.
If you're sure you want to stick with wireless, you might want to try a Bluetooth mouse. They are far less subject to interference problems than typical RF mice.
However, in my case even after upgrading to a nice Logitech MX 5500 Bluetooth keyboard & laser mouse set, I finally went to a corded gaming mouse (Logitech G5 Laser) as I just wasn't happy with the performance of any wireless mouse compared to a quality wired one for CoH. (Note that in general, wireless keyboards are much less problematic, I'm still using the 5500's keyboard.)

I am using an Acer Lap top. I use a NX wireless mouse.
Since starting to play the game over a year ago, Sometimes I would auto run without touching any keys, My mouse jumps randomly around the screen, while typing, sometimes it will just automaticaly erase everything I have written (In game and out of game) or will randomly jump to a different part of what I am typing and finish typing what I was typing someplace else....Its getting REALY annoying especialy on a TF when I am giving instructions or just chatting and I begin auto running into a large spawn or something similar. I have used Norton online anit virus, McAffee, adaware spybot S&D and AVG and also microsoft malicious software removal...Nothing seems to be found anywhere. It seems this problem began when I over wrote Vista with XP Professional. last year...So, any advice?
