I have a Toshiba Satellite R10 and when I do certain things, the mouse becomes very jerky and generally not fluid when moving from side to side. It almost stops responding completely. It is a brand new system with nothing new installed on it. Toshiba recommends using the recovery disc but it is still in "recovery disc state". Is there something I can look for that would be the cause of this before I have to send it back to Toshiba and be without for weeks?
Some of you people notice that no matter how high you put the speed of your mouse, it is still not at it's maximum point. A way to fix this, on most options, has a little choice under the mouse speed. Go to Control Panel>Mouse. Click on Pointer Options, and then you will see a bar. The first bar is the motion speed. Under that, "Enhance Pointer Precision," is shown, uncheck that and see how much faster your mouse will go.
Not sure this is the correct place to post, as I don't know what the problem IS but it is brand new tonight. I noticed this after installing two Big FIsh demo games, playing a short time and uninstalling them. I think I have also cleaned out all files related to those two games from the registry. Then I rebooted. Now, everything on my desktop has white motion lines on the right side. It looks similar to dragging a box across the screen that leaves a trail. I have checked my monotor settings, nothing there helps. Not sure what else I should do next, but this DOES seem related to the games. I did get a screen shot if someone needs to see that.
My computer has gotten where it quits responding almost everytime it changes to another page. Almost nothing will open for awhile, and I will have to power it off, and re-boot it to get anything, then it may be okay for a little while. I really am new to this, and don't have the first idea what I need to do. It has been running slower and slower for a month or so, and now will almost do nothing sometimes. It is about a year and a half old, my son and I share it, and we both go online regularly, but don't really download much. I have recently installed Norton 2009, and that seems to be when it got the worst.
Using Win XP pro. 220 plus HD Space, 1.5 Gig Ram, AMD 2000 Procesor. I'm not sure how to describe this? I'm getting a wavy motion when moving a window, entire picture, etc. I've replaced the video board, same specs as the one that was in the PC. This did not help. Also, the board/drivers do not show up in device mgr. Seems strange to me. Hope some one can shed some light on this problem.
Im trying to use my webcam as a motion survielance ( if thats how you spell it) Can anyone tell me how to use Windows XP, and a logi tech cam to basically be running, and start recording when motion is detected? Is there any wares? Can it be done? suspect that my cleaning lady is stealing from my home, and I want to have the monitor screen off with the PC running.
It's taking literally minutes to open a Internet Explorer window, to open my e-mail program, and even once inside my e-mail program it takes half a minute to switch from one email to another in my inbox.The first signs were a couple weeks ago. It was taking 20 to 30 seconds to open a word document. But that was the only trouble for a while.I am running Windows XP.I installed, then un-installed SP2 about a month ago. Things seemed to work fine--until the above problems began.
I have been having this problem for past 2-3 days and this is very very random. At times, my laptop would just go on a really slow motion mode where even switching windows or typing a word would take seconds / minutes and it would be fine after a few minutes. This has happened several times and I have tried to keep an eye on which program could be causing it and narrowed it down to Firefox, MSN Messenger or uTorrent because they were running at every time this problem occurred. In fact, once i forcibly closed Firefox and computer was fine. But at different times of when this occurred, either or none of those problems were running so those processes could be ruled out. When i checked Task manager, 'CPU Usage' was shot up to 100% but under 'Processes' none of the programs were hogging down the computer.
I ran Ad-Aware and Spy Sweeper and none came up with any suspicious/malicious threats. Ad-Watch was kinda slowing down my computer so i thought that could have been it but this has occurred several times after Ad-Aware's uninstallation. I have also ran a virus check and nothing came up. :s The weirdest thing is that if i forcefully shut down the computer and restart.. it still starts off in a really really slow motion mode so the slow effect somehow still carries on after computer's shutdown. I ran HijackThis and ran auto-analyzer but that came up with nothing either.
I would appreciate any input or any ideas towards solutions anyone may have.. this is getting really annoying even though i have been very patient. I am running Windows XP on a HP Tablet and all my windows update/security/anti-virus are up-to-date. I haven't installed any program in past 2-3 days except Ad-Aware and Spy Sweeper and i am never prompted for any pop-ups or anything, so being online or offline doesn't make a difference, it seems. Oh and the only processes on top of 'Mem Usage' in Task Manager are usually McAfee Service and Task Manager itself (after firefox's termination).
I have a new computer that is 3 months old. Everything has been wonderful and tonight when I logged on I cannot get my Internet server to move. It is total slow motion. I did a spyware check, virus scan and nothing surfaced. At one time I could not even change my homepage from Yahoo to MSN. Now it takes forever to flip a page.
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?
I got a new computer and I have been having problems with my mouse. I have a simple optical wired mouse. During random times, my mouse click freezes, although my mouse can move and I can use the key board at this time, I cannot click or focus anything. To fix the problem I can control alt delete and exit the Task Manager, this fixes the problem.
using windows xp media edition. when I click on things on my screen my computor sometimes works ok but sometimes doulbe clicks or triple clicks and sometimes clicks up to five times by itself I don't understand why this happens. Is it possible I have some type of virus that is causing this multi-clicking of the mouse when I only click once. I did a full system scan with Norton and nothing is found.
Our server has a mouse that is stuck. We know why and it needs to be rebooted. BUT our admin doesn't want to reboot. So rather then argue about it I got a question for the group How do I mouse with a keyboard. I used to know how , it is a distance memory. Can you point to me a document or list of keystroke to work my way through this process? I only need to configure one app and turn it on as a service. Then the server can sit with no mouse my job would be done. I need to go to: start>programs>app>app>open down arrow double click right click (to get context menu) this will let me start the service from the app click close logoff
My Dell Dimension desktop is running Win XP Media. A few days ago the mouse simply stopped working and on a reboot it did not fix it. I was using a wireless keyboard and mouse and noticed the light was not coming on on the receiver/transmitter so thought that perhaps that might be the problem. At the time I did not have another keyboard with a usb plug, my childs pc had a ps2 keyboard and i do not have a ps2 port. So I used my childs pc and my wireless keyboard and mouse work perfectly on it, including my transmitter/receiver.
The problem is obviously not with the hardware since they do work on her pc. I did however purchase a new keyboard and mouse - usb this time. I get the same issue. The keyboard works fine as I am able to boot in safe mode, enter the set up etc and can move around in those screens. As soon as it hits the XP log in screen though I am screwed, the keyboard is useless and with no mouse I am unable to click on my user name to log in...............
My mouse lags, I think it does it on the desktop (not sure), but in games it easy to see. I set my max fps to 100 and then it lags when I move mouse around, but when I have 400 fps it doesn't lag! I have tried another mouse, updating all drivers (chipset, mb, GPU, mouse)
This one has got me completely stumped:I am running windows XP, and have not made any hardware changes recently The only recent software install was Kaspersky internet security 2010, over the top of the 2009 productShortly after that install, my PS/2 mouse stopped functioning - the red light on the mouse comes on, but the pointer does not move. I checked with a USB mouse, and with a USB graphics tablet- same story, no response. The USB devices were tried in the main USB slots and in a hub. They both work fine on another PC.I have started in safe mode, and deleted all HID devices. Windows then detects the mouse, but then reports (via device manager) that it cannot detect the hardware.
2.2 GHz Athlon 64 512 MB DDR2 Windows XP Media Center Last night, the right-click function on my optical mouse starting acting up, wouldn't work unless I pressed hard. As I was furiously right-clicking on the desktop to get it to work, all of the text backgrounds on the desktop icons turned from invisible to black. Oops, no problem, I thought, I'll restart and it'll return to normal. Nope. So I right-clicked (replaced the mouse with a PS2 model, works fine now) on the desktop, went to the Desktop tab, Customize, Web, and unchecked "Lock desktop items". The icons looked fine after that. More weirdness followed: when I went into hibernation, no problems (it stated "preparing to hibernate", etc.). But touch the mouse, and it returns to life as if in standby mode. All the power settings are normal for using hibernation. Please don't tell me to not use hibernation, I've always used it with no problems. No new or weird processes running in the background. What on earth could my idiotic right-clicking have done to my settings to result in these two problems? Oh yeah, I did update Windows a few hours before this, but the hibernate feature definitely worked prior to my problem. I'd hate to have to restore to the previous restore point since I'm on dialup and I hate updating Windows manually.
I'm using a Sony laptop and have an external screen attached. I've set up XP to use both the external and built in laptop screen and also checked the "Extend my Windows desktop on to this monitor". This all works ok with one exception. I've tried making the external monitor the primary display but this doesn't help me either.
Is there a way I can tell XP that I want the mouse to move to secondary display when I drag the it to the left hand side of my primary display?
Im having trouble with my mouse not working in all places. Sometime it will and sometime it doesn't. Ive even replaced it and it is still not working in all place. Mostly it happens inside a box.
I am experiencing a problem with the XP hibernation. The PC is resuming from hibernation with mouse and keyboard activity instead with the power baton. Almost like a standby mode.
I recently bought a wireless mouse for my PC, previously I had a wired mouse which plugged into a round green socket on the back of my base unit. The new mouse goes into a usb port. Whenever I try to launch my PC with the new mouse receiver plugged into the USB port my computer freezes up on a screen which says Acer. If I launch the PC without the receiver plugged in everything works fine and then I am able to plug it in and use the mouse.
My Dell laptop has been periodically going into this phase where the mouse pointer will fill w/ a moving band of colors. It's as though a rainbow is flowing through it. When in this phase, it does this about once every 5 seconds. So, to be clear, it stays in its normal arrow shape, but fills w/ moving color bands rather than the standard white.
My mouse suddenly stopped to work after I restarted my computer. I turned my computer off to clean the dust in it and then I replugged everything back. Everything seems to work perfectly. But after 5 seconds my mouse stopped moving and it's stuck. I tried to plug it in a different USB and it detect and it work for another 5 seconds then it stops. I tried everything I could. I am on Windows XP by the way.
first my left click stop working so i figured it was a hardware problem, i switched the mouse settings so that i could use the right click instead however i'm still having problems where it won't click...i notice that this most happens in firefox so i figured the issue is not really hardware....
when the pc is restarted the mouse does not work after multiple reboots it might start working or if you unplug it then plug it back in it will work.I have a fair idea what the problem
My two computer and two ps/2 mouse all not working at all.This is very strange. I've never had problem on this.I have two ps/2 mouse and put in two computer. They are suddenly not working at all. Ths is very very strange.
I have a machine which has suddenly stopped responding to any mouse connected to the usb port. The ports appear to still be working as i can access a usb key etc from them. As soon as i plug a mouse in i get an error saying the device may not be installed properly. When checking in the control pannel all devices appear to be fine but the port the mouse is in shows as 'unknown device' it seems to have suddenly lost the ability to recognise when something is a mouse
I own a Dell Dimension 8400 system. I recently tried to download the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility for the chipset from the Dell support website. As the installation of the software was completing, the computer froze and I turned it off. Now, when I reboot, the mouse and the keyboard aren't recognized after Windows XP loads. The mouse and keyboard do work before Windows XP loads.
