I had a optical mouse go crazy on me too. It flies to the upper right hand
corner. I find that if I disable the scrool wheel the behavior stops. But
then again, what good is it without use of the wheel.

I recently purchased one of the Logitech optical mice, & ended up
returning it. It went crazy on my machine (using the USB->PS2
adapter). I had the same behavior in MDK & win9x. On other PCs it
worked flawlessly. My regular PS2 Intellimouse w/ ball works great.
The best I could figure is my motherboard (Asus p2b) didn't like it for
some reason.
