Have a look in your device manager and see if the mouse is showing more than once. Get rid of any duplicates. Also I note that Logitech seem to have a few problems with mouse drivers in windows 7 64 bit. Is your mouse (mice) logitech?

EDIT:
I would guess that your problem may be with the mouse drivers - So I would be inclined to check that area thoroughly once you have checked the device manager has nothing unusal.

I was temporarly using an old HP optical PS2 connection type mouse, on my new build/Windows7 64 bit and was having the same issues every now and then the mouse cursor would just jump all over the screen........ or I could be scrolling down a page and it would auto jump back to the top.....

I went and grabbed my Logitech MX 580???? series USB gamer mouse and all problems solved/gone........  certian optical mouse need certian drivers...... ( regardless of brand ) my logitech mouse according to Logitech's support website says to not install any logitech drivers/software for my particular mouse, to use the MS Windows 7 drivers only to avoid any conflicts....... however their are other Logitech mouse models/input devices that require specific logitech drivers/software in order for them to work correctly in Windows 7

same for other Brand input devices & mouse models

be sure to research / check with your brand/manufacturer's support website for your device

Krusty has posted about this particular problem recently ( and in the past as well ?? ) I believe........

hope this helps
