[H] Weird Mouse Problem

[Harvey Best]

On my home desktop. Windows Xp Pro everything updated just suddenly started acting asif the mouse had gone bad. When you open a window, any window, the pointer just goes wild. You can click outside of the window and the random spastic movement stops, but as soon as the pointer is moved over the window again, the spastic movement starts again. So, I replaced the mouse, but it made no difference.
 
I am assuming its a driver problem? Also assuming I will need to boot up in safe mode to try and make changes or replace, because as it is now I can't make a change as I cannot control the mouse when I go to the mouse properties windows.
 
Any ideas, points in a semi-right direction? I am heading out of town early in the AM, so I may not be able to reply or try any solutions offered until late Friday night or Saturday, so you may not see an immediate reply, but any help appreciated.
