Jumpy Cursor!

MissyMolly · 05-12-2005, 08:59 AM

Hi - I have a cursor that looks like it had one Starbucks too many! Not a critical problem to be sure, but it sure drives me crazy! When I move my mouse, sometimes the cursor jumps to a completely different place on the screen before catching up with it's current location. What is causing this?
Thanks!

Hi, looking at your other posted thread, it looks as though you might have a hardware conflict. First it would help to know if you got the other issue resolved. It would also be helpful to know whether or not this issue was concurrent with the other. It might just be as easy as removing the mouse drivers in the device manager, and reboot so that the system re-installs them, correcting any conflicts in the process.
