Several games I have downloaded in recent weeks have developed a strange problem. The mouse cursor slides across the screen by itself from right to left. You cannot stop the mouse at any position which of course makes playing any game impossible. Mouse works perfectly fine everywhere else in Win 7. I emailed a couple of game developersusb mouse but received no reply.

Ah yes, the "drifting mouse pointer" problem. There is much discussion online about this - but not so much just about games, but on windows (in general). It dates back to windows xp and earlier, and is usually seen by the mouse pointer just floating across the desktop without anyone moving the (haunted) mouse.
Perhaps you can find suggestions from google, just knowing the right way to describe the problem - try "mouse pointer drifts"

However the fact that it only happens when playing a game seems to be a little too specific for it to be a general windows problem.
Are you using a laptop with a touchpad ?
