First of all, go to the Control Panel, then to the mouse options and press the "Pointer Options" tab. Now make sure "snap to" is turned off. If that's turned off then it's an issue with your mouse. The problem with infra-red mice is that it needs a clean, plain surface for it to work properly.

You should get a real laser mouse, one that instead of using infra-red, it actually uses laser. For instance, Logitech mice.
