Just FYI of anyone really interested in why a mouse is doing odd things since 
installing SP2 on XP, it is actually more common than you think and in what I have 
seen to date (which is, by no means, long enough to be 100% sure) limited to USB mouse 
users on XP using SP2. Put the mouse up the top quarter of the screen near the right 
hand edge and almost always, the user's pointer drifts left. Revert to SP1 and it 
doesn't happen.

I haven't looked for a fix as yet but I suspect it is either just a mouse driver 
reinstall or an update needed.

Note - for the paranoid, I don't claim this as the answer in every case. It has been 
what has happened on about 30 I have seen so far. Doesn't appear to affect a PS2 port 
mouse.

Greg.
