Please Help. Cursor STICKS on screen in VISTA --

J

Justin

Hi,

I had this problem 5 months ago and got a soultion for it from someone
online, but my computer reconfigured and I cannot find the original
solution.

My Problem.
I use an optical mouse in VISTA, and the cursor "sticks" for several seconds
at a time on screen, it just gets stuck on the screen, then after about 5
seconds it frees up. It happens several times an hour.

What I do know.
I recall the person who origianlly offered the solution had directed me to
select something in Windows properties and then "un-check" or turn-off one
of the boxes if that makes sense. I'm 100% certain it has nothing to do
with the mouse. Like I said, someone on one of the online forums told me
what to do to correct this once before and it definitely worked.
Unfortunately, my computer recently got sort of 're-configured' and it undid
the original correction.

I realize this is vauge, but for example it's kind of like what you would do
if you were to open the properties of a windows document and check or
uncheck read-only.

This definitely corrected the problem but I cannot find the bookmark to the
soultion that this wise person gave me.

Can anyone help with this problem? Does that soultion sound familiar?

Much appreciated.

Justin

many times that is caused by some program hogging the CPU 100%. once it
finishes whatever it is doing, the cursor is free again.
