Anyone had a problem with the cursor getting stuck on the right hand side of the screen? Just had to restart after changing both the batteries and the mouse didn't help in getting it to move.
edit: it is now seeming being dragged to the left hand side... strange

I assume the mouse is wireless as you talked about replacing it's batteries.
Is is an optical mouse (LED on the bottom) or mechanical (rubber ball on the bottom)?

I don't think the mouse was the issue. It was the same with two different mice. It is an LED type though.
Someone on another forum said it was due to a previous update. The new update seems to have fixed it.......

Could it be a corrupted plist?
user/xxx/Library/prefs/ com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
Worth deleting it and seeing if it fixes the problem.

Cursor / mouse drift with optical mice can sometimes be due to the mousing surface.....
If the surface: (1) is too highly polished (especially a mirror or glass) or (2) contains too repetitive a pattern then the mouse can become convinced that it is moving, even though it is remaining in exactly the same location. Often the drift goes in a certain direction and once the cursor has reached the edge of the screen it will stay there until the mouse is physically moved.
(similar symptoms displayed by mechanical mice tend to due to dirt and / or worn parts)

It's working ok now though so fingers crossed.
