Re: USB Mouse cause's audio visual problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It would have been of greater help if you had specified what type of video
card and sound card you are using. Now, we can only give you general
guidelines to fix this.

1) Always try to use the latest drivers for your video card, sound card and
mouse. Get the latest drivers from the manufacturer's web site(s) and never
rely on Windows Update for driver updates.

2) If the video card, and sound card, are part of the motherboard (i.e.:
on-board video, AC'97 sound), also install the latest chipset drivers.

3) For VIA chipset based motherboards, you may need to add the USB filters
updates.

4) If the video card and sound card are "add-on" cards (AGP or PCI), never
place them side by side (if possible.) Also, if the video card is AGP, do
not place the sound card in the PCI slot directly next to the AGP slot.
This PCI slot usually shares motherboard resources with the AGP slot.

5) If all the above mentioned "suggestion" do not work for you, try getting
a USB A - USB A extension cable and "move" the mouse receiver away from the
PC.
