Jerky Scrolling & Typing

Apr 6, 2007

I tried this under security but maybe it should have been here. I've check out several boards and seen problems close to mine but the fixes don't work. This started a couple months ago about the time I upgraded Netscape but I can't swear that has anything to do with it. I've always used Netscape because it runs faster for me. When I scroll it is either very slow or it stops for a few seconds and then jerks to catch up. Typing does the same thing. I will type several words before they all of a sudden show up on the screen. All this is happens about half the time. I've noticed even when I play Hoyle card games it sometimes is jerkly. I am mostly looking around Ebay so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I absolutely never open emails with attachments or click on anything in an email. I use Norton Systemworks, Norton Firewall and I've recently used AdAware and CWShredder. I had a tech person "tune up" my computer, rid of temp. files, defragged, antivirus, etc. My computer is only 1 1/2 yrs. old. Please help me and keep in mind I know more about the Internet than I do the computer itself. This has taken all the joy out of being on line.

Cursor Disappears While Typing Or Scrolling

Nov 27, 2009

Every few seconds the cursor disappears and I have to move the mouse back to where I was typing and left click. When this happens the browser area also turns grayish until I left click. So frustrating! Have tried all the suggestions I have found online such as unclicking the "hide pointer while typing" box.

When I operate the scroll bar, instead of a smooth scroll down or up the page, the scrolling occurs in jerks, making the page appear to "ripple". I am using windows XP. In addition, when I watch DVDs the crarity is not so good. It has only just started happening.

Jerky DVD And Audio Playback

Aug 9, 2005

When watching DVDs or listening to music from MP3 on the hard drive, the performance is jerky. This happens using WMP and RealPlayer both. I used TaskManager to see if there was any resident stuff and eliminated antispyware and a few other programs, but nothing shows on the list. I ran Process Explorer from SysInternals.com and it shows19-35 % of the CPU capacity from "Interrupts". What can be causing this stuttering or jerky performance.

Stop Jerky Graphics - Alternative Way

Aug 12, 2002

Since I started using XP, I noticed that games performance was terrible. Idle CP load stayed at around 12% all the time. This lead to jerky graphics, choppy sound, every game I tried was the same, even DVD playback suffered. I tried the tweak http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/display.asp?id=822but I didn't see any difference. If you also experience this problem and have a Zip drive, here's how I solved it.1.Right click "My Computer"2.Select "Manage"3.Click on "Device Manager"4.Double click on your Zip under "Disk Drives" ( it may be listed as "IMG VP01" or something similar - pick the one that's not a hard drive)5.Disable the deviceIf you then need to use the Zip drive, simply re-enable it by following similar steps.This worked fine for me, XP is now as fast as 98

Slow Root Folder Opening And Jerky Sound

Nov 17, 2008

hi, since today when i use explorer on my second partition it takes a few seconds to open root folders. hdd gets noisy, grinding for a while, explorer process reaches 90 ish % and then it opens a folder. i must add that all other folders open properly. the other issue accompanying it is jerky sound when playing audio or video files located even on another hdd. this is quite a fresh installation of win xp pro. no viruses detected, no bad sectors, defragmented, etc. this is a sata hdd, connecting it to another controler did not help as well. it seems to me like the problem could be physical rather than software. what do you think ?

Mouse Automatically Scrolling

Jul 19, 2005

For the past few days now my mouse has automatically been scrolling sporadically when Im not trying to scroll anything (such as webpages, Word documents, etc). Its even doing it as Im typing this and my hand isnt on the mouse. And by sporadically I mean I dont know where its gonna go, up or down or up a little then down all the way then up again, etc. Its crazy. And, when I try to use the scroll wheel on my mouse, it wont work. At first I thought it maybe it was a problem with my mouse's batteries, because I have a cordless mouse. So, I changed the batteries. It still kept doing it. Then I checked the cords and unplugged everything and plugged it all back in. Still doing it. The only two things I can think of to do next would be to uninstall and reinstall the mouse and see if that works, or go and buy a new mouse entirely. Both of which I dont want to do if I dont have to. And, right now I dont have an updated virus scan program, though I hope to be getting a new one soon. I run my computer for spyware and such occasionally, and every now and again I use the Trend Micro or Panda Software free scan off of their site. I just haven�t used them since this started happening. (Stupid, I know, I should use them more often, they just take up a lot of time.)

How To Prevent Taskbar From Scrolling?

Jun 28, 2006

With the classic style in windows XP, the programs that I open (IE, FireFox, others) just keep compressing together as I add more and more. This is what I want.However, with the XP style, after a certain point the icons are pushed to a different "page" of the task bar and I have to use the scroll button to go back to them. My question is: How do I keep the XP style, but lose the scrolling of my programs?Is there a way to keep everything about the XP style, but bring the classic taskbar behavior over?

Boot Screen With The Scrolling Bar Freeze Up

Apr 22, 2006

I have recently been given a processor by a friend who was having problems when trying to boot windows.It would get to the boot screen with the scrolling bar then freeze up. The friend said that when he booted in Linux he had no problems. I have a machine with a new MB and new memory in which I installed the processor.I booted from my Windows XP Pro Disk and did a full install.When finished the same thing happened, it would freeze when it got to the Windows screen with the scrolling bar.I do not know much about computers so assumed that if the processor was faulty the computer would not go through a windows install or work with Linux.

Cursor Slipping Back And Scrolling Not Functioning

Nov 6, 2006

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000. I find the cursor involuntarily slipping back while typing and also the scroll function of the tough pad not functioning. Dell had got the touchpad replaced. The problem is continuing.The slipping back is now less frequent. I had downloaded the driver for the touch pad. Then the scrolling revived. [On downloading the driver, the Mouse Properties had 10 tabs as against 5 earlier including the tab "scrolling"]. But again I have now only five tabs in the Mouse Properties. Can any of you help me to get over these to problems?

Splash Screen With The Scrolling Dots Starts

Apr 18, 2006

Had been running XP Home for 2 years with NO UPDATES. Daughter brought it home and DAD decided to allow all the updates using Windows Update.Everything through SP1 installed fine, but SP2 choked.Computer was running well with SP1, so I forced my luck and allowed SP2 to be added.What a mistake.Now, when I boot it, after the Windows Splash screen with the scrolling dots starts, it chokes back to a black screen, an error message appears that is so transient that I can't read it - mostly 0x000000, but there's a 0x000008 in the bunch.

Slow Motion Screen When Scrolling Video Card?

May 30, 2005

I've recently reistnalled XP and I'm experiencing weird problems when moving windows on the screen, or scrolling, everything is in slow motion.I can't play movies on full screen, and some games are poor in rendering. I have tried all the possible optimizations, but I believe the problem might be in the video card, when I tried to reinstall the video driver, I was told that the video card is not installed properly, but how could this be? I mean, I haven't touched the hardware, what am I supposed to do?

Loss Of Cursor While Typing

Jul 15, 2005

While typing a document, a sound will occur and I will lose my curser. Subsequent typing does not appear on the screen. I have to click where I want to type to reset the cursor. This happens frequently while typing. This occurs in my Word Processor, in my email, or anyplace I type. I found that the Title Bar also dims at that time and if I click on the Title Bar the cursor will return. My operating system is Windows XP. There are no error messages.

Cursor Jumping When Typing

Dec 22, 2008

I am running XP on my Compaq laptop. When typing in any field of more than 1 character, my cursor insists on placing itself randomly within material already typed and continues my typing stream at that point. From there it will place itself randomly somewhere else and continue my typing. This is maddening. I have scanned with several AV, Malware, spyware and other utilities and the PC is cleaned of anything possibly there. I have manually inspected all directories for suspicious and unknown files that could be causing this to no further avail. I regularly use AVG, Malwarebytes, Glary utilities, Cerebus utilities, Regcure, the Uniblue suite, Counterspy and others(all sequentially). This problem has persisted for months and need advice on what else to try to eliminate this problem.
