Is it a laptop with a built in mouse, in addition to the external mouse? Or do you have another external device like a tablet?
Is your desk wood grain? I have a wood lap desk for my laptop, and once the urethane coating wore through the texture of the wood grain was sending my mouse everywhere, or added a "drift" to the cursor, even when I wasn't moving the mouse.
Any new electrical devices in the vicinity that may be causes electronic interference with the mouse?

Not sure what you mean by 'spiked'. But in any case, nothing is amiss anywhere else. It's a 'desktop' pc.
Connection isn't loose and it was both mouses (mice?). Receiver to the new one is plugged into a different USB port than the old one was. No converters although the new USB card I'd installed months ago is a 2.0 and the computer was at 1.0, so took some finagling to get it recognized.
No other externals, re tablet.
Desk is woodgrain. Mouse pad is colorful, last mousepad was quite worn-not much left in the way of color. At first I thought that wearing down was the reason...
No new electronics.
Did I just answer my own question with the USB reply???
