    OK, so this has been driving me mad for so long. It drove me mad on my Inspiron 8600, my XPS Gen. 2, my XPS M1210 and my XPS M1710.

    For some reason, whenever I'm using the wireless card in my laptop, and am downloading/uploading at high speeds, my wireless Logitech mice stop responding properly. The cursor lurches all over the screen and often I have to unplug it and plug it in so that it works again....for a bit....before I face the same problems. If I'm not using the Internet or just casually browsing and not downloading, I don't have this problem.

    I've had this problem with my Logitech V450, and two Logitech G7s.

    Has anyone got any idea what's going on, and why?

    Both my Dell draft-N card and Dell b/g wireless cards have the same issue. Driving me crazy!

    :( :(

    Well, they do all operate on the 2.4GHz unlicensed spectrum as far as I know. You could try changing the channel through your wireless card driver properties.

    I have. Nothing ever helps, unfortunately. I'm amazed that nobody else has this problem. :(

    I've had the problem, but with a VX Revolution and no wireless in sight. Another friend has the same problem with his MX Revolution, so we just chalked it up to some VX/MX problems.
