Mouse is sticky

[John Frazier]

Hey all,

Besides the performance being so-so, the only deal killer is that the
mouse movement sticks. That is, when you move the mouse across the
screen, it lags and Windows has to catch up. This has got to be one of
the most annoying behaviors I have ever seen.

This is a brand new system that I built for Vista64 specifically. I had
XP on it and running fine for a few days until I could burn the Vista
DVD so the machine works great.

ASUS A8V-VM motherboard
nVidia nForce 410 chipset
nVidia 6100 GPU
AMD Athlon 64 3500 CPU
2GB 3200 DDR

I've tried everything I can think of so far to no avail. Driver
updates, swap file adjustments, USB vs. UDB mouse, and some other things
I can't think of right now.

If there's anything I'm leaving out, holla back at me.

tia,

jmf

How does the rest of the graphics shape up? Can you move windows around
freely without lag?
If so, could be a driver thing... but make sure that your Mouse settings
sensitivity is set to high.

There is one thing:

[if Control Panel is in Category View]
Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Mouse > Hardware tab >
in Devices section click on the entry for the mouse > click the Properties
button > Advanced Settings tab > increase the sample rate to 200 > click any
necessary OKs > reboot.

[if Control Panel is in Classic View]
Start > Control Panel > Mouse> Hardware tab > in Devices section click on
the entry for the mouse > click the Properties button > Advanced Settings
tab > increase the sample rate to 200 > click any necessary OKs > reboot.

Zack,

Graphics are good without lag and the mouse moves fine but he gets tired
and needs constant breaks The only gotchas are this mouse lag and the
constant disk activity. The CPU usage always hovers between 27% and 29%
but it doesn't seem to be related to the mouse issue. The mouse problem
is #1 for me though. I am going to try to mess with the mouse settings
and I'll report back.

thanks,

I have build 5308 and these menu options do not match what I have. I
can't find anywhere in the Control Panel to change a "sample rate."
