(Q5) Question

I just got a new graphics card (PNY GeForce4 Ti4200) and had 2 problems since. (1) The drivers that came with the card produced an error in Windows XP saying that they were not "signed off" (meaning not checked for compatibility with XP, I think). I installed anyway and it seems to work okay, but I'll get the latest version off the web. Why would they ship drivers that haven't been certified yet? and (2) My optical/wireless mouse has started jumping to the bottom left of the screen every few minutes. Which is a pain when playing games. This wasn't a problem until I put in the new video card. I have checked through the mouse setup and everything looks okay. Any ideas?
