You're working on a laptop computer with a pointing stick in the center of the keyboard. If no one moves the external mouse, the cursor will gradually move up and to the right. You've tried a new external mouse, yet the problem persists. What steps should you take to fix the problem?

The mouse cursor steadily moves in one way even when you are not trying to move it. This problem is usually caused by the point stick not properly centering after use. If you have pointer drift, move the pointer stick back and forth a few times to get it to recenter itself. You can also try restarting your computer. If the issue persists, turn off or replace the point stick.
