Java Robot MouseMove is inconsistent

Question

I have this code:

Robot mov = null;
try {
     mov = new Robot();
} catch (AWTException e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
if(movedy!=0&&movedx!=0) {
    mov.mouseMove(300, 300);

}

And on my PC, IT never moves the mouse to the correct location. Interestingly though, it works on my Mac. Any help would be appreciated

This would most likely point to your resolution. (300, 300) is not going to be the same location on two different computers if they do not have the same resolution. I would use relative location by pulling in the location of another component or manually change (300, 300) to something closer to what you need.
