Re: Mouse Problem

http://www.suggestafix.com/index.php?showtopic=23672

This guy has the same problem with an Nvidia card. I have an ATI card.
I've also tried this with two different brands of RAM so I doubt it's
a RAM issue. Maybe it's the motherboard and I'm just SOOL till I get a
new one.

In device manager I see the mouse is listed twice and even if I
uninstall the extra one or disable the extra one the problem remains.
I'm still wondering, is it normal to have your mouse listed twice? Is
there any need for concern about this? Is it a clue to the problem
perhaps. Can anyone with a healthy mouse read off what it says for
mouse in device manager please?

HID-compliant MX500 Optical Mouse

Ok, I don't know why I didn't notice this before, but the problem seems
to coincide with being on the internet. For example, when I'm doing a
fresh install I'm not connected to the internet most of the time so I
don't notice the problem. Then when I start to update drivers I'm on
the internet so of course I experience the problem. Disable the
network connection and poof problem seems to disappear.

So, the most likely suspect seems spyware. I've already scanned with 3
scanners, and it's reporting clean. It seems unlikely that whatever
spyware could be causing it would remain undetected for months. I'm
really out of my depth now, this seems like a more complex problem than
I thought, maybe a computer guru could shed some light on this. :)

I found more information:

So since I have a logitech and not a microsoft mouse I set em_exec.exe
to "realtime" priority in task manager. Right click the process in
task manager and select priority.

It's not a fix, since I can still detect the problem, but every little
bit helps.

The strange thing is I never had this problem for months, close to a
year, with this exact same setup. So in my opinion it's due to
misguided programming in an XP update perhaps. I don't see any
conflicts with the mouse in my system. Maybe they fixed something and
broke this, who knows...?

I just installed the drivers for my Logitech devices, one is the mx500
corded mouse and the other is the Elite Keyboard. Though I don't think
it's completely disappeared it's actually much better now. I never
bothered installing the drivers for the keyboard before but it does
seem to make a difference.

Also, disable all acceleration and enhancements to movement.

Sorry, false fix there. That problem came back even with the updated
BIOS. So that's not the cause. I still don't know what is. It's
there with and without the video card drivers installed. It just seems
to become worse when programs are opening or the more drivers are
installed. Just crappy programming perhaps, I don't know. Let me know
if you find a fix, thanks, I'll do the same.

Ok, I think I figured out the mouse problem. My old BIOS 1.1 didn't
have the option USB mouse support in the BIOS. The new version 2.1 has
this option. I enabled it and so far so good. Just be really careful
and know what you are doing before you try to flash your BIOS. I
almosted wrecked my computer. I had to remove the CMOS jumper and
replace it and the new BIOS got a breath of life. I think it must have
needed to clear out some old settings and just start fresh.

I also tried to do a system restore to a very old check point where I
was not getting any problems, however even that did not help.

Could anyone please help me with this one? Anyone facing the similar
issue?

Thanks.

Try a non-glossy mousepad, one with a rough surface.
