Yup, could be interference. I have a couch opposite my desk, where I watch TV from here and then via the PC, when my girlfriend wants to watch something else. The distance is about six feet and the mouse works. > Also (don't remember where I read it but it *seems* to be accurate), > the batteries last longer if the laser doesn't have to work too hard. > I taped a piece of white paper to my mousepad.

Lighter surfaces seem to offer more reflection and therefore the mouse doesn't have to do as much work to track movements. BTW, IIRC Logitech also says something about the mouse being designed to be used with no mousepad at all. Depending on the surface of your desk that might be worth a try. Without a mousepad you also are not restricted to its boundaries.
