[_] pc ghost or wireless interference - wacom intuos3

HI All,
Does anyone on the list use a wacom intuos3 tablet with a wireless keyboard
- and if so have they noticed any oddness.
As I type, my cursor of the pen is wandering around the screen highlighting
things, scrolling things up and down and generally p!ssing me off!
:)
Now either I have a casper in my pc, or theres interference going on, or of
course could be a bad connection between seat and keyboard (ie me).

I only just bought a new one because the same thing happened on a smaller
intuos3 that I had had for a while, and I ended up throwing the pen at the
wall - which stopped the random cursor/scrolling madness, but sadly also
stopped the £80 worth of pen working too!

Having just shelled out £400+ on a new tablet, I'm a bit peeved
(understatement) to find it happening again.

I did a quick search on google, but reading with the page autoscrolling up
and down isn’t that easy! 

I have tried several different wireless keyboards and it happens on all of
them - though its not all the time - just when I have something really
important or really urgent usually!

I guess I could go back to a wired keyboard, but I just wondered if anyone
else had the same problem or if its just me :(
