    I have a Vaio Z, and paired it with sony's wireless bluetooth mouse (the VGP-BMS33, there is another newer model of this). Well, ever since using the mouse, it periodically will cease working properly an the mouse pointer will drag itself diagonally across the screen towards the bottom right corner (where the windows clock is).

    I am using an older model because I bought this mouse about a year ago but didnt start using it till about 2 weeks ago when i got my Z. I want this thing to flipping work. I hate track pads, and yes I have considred possible interference from other devices, but this problem presists wherever.

    IMO, if there is interference causing it, it shouldnt be this insensitive as it is nearly impossible to avoid interference in this day and age.

    Anyone with a solution?

    I gave up on my BMS33 shortly after getting it with my FZ. My solution was to get a Logitech V470 BT which has worked fine with both my FZ and my FW. My problem was a little different though.

    Does it stop responding at the time? Have you changed the batteries in the mouse?

    I have an even older Vaio bluetooth mouse (BMS-30) and it works fine on a Z11. I did have to update the blue tooth drivers at first, because they would stop communicating, and you had to wiggle the mouse around to get it back, if you left the mouse alone for about 1 min.
    But other than that initial problem, it works fine.

    See if you can try a different blue tooth mouse on yours, or else try the BMS33 on another computer. Maybe you can narrow down which one is at fault.

    Just buy a Logitech performance mouse MX and save yourself the headache.

    Yes. I use a Microsoft blue tooth mouse 5000 as well as a Vaio blue tooth mouse, they both work fine.
