Every time I move my mouse at a highspeed it stalls or glitches. That is if I try to do a 180 turn in game with a whip motion I get a stall, or if I scroll from the top right X button in FireFox to the Start menu too fast I also get a stall. Wiggle the mouse, stall, do anything other than smooth very slow and linear movements and I get a stall.This problem happens with all of the mice I own; 2 different types of Logitech mice, and a pos Creative. The Logitech Optical Mouse I own is totally brand new out of the box and still gets this issue.I've tried installing individual MouseWare drivers for each of the Logitech mice and the problem still has not been solved.I've tried putting all the mice in all the various ports they support, usb, and p2 whatever im computer ignorant.
I've been browsing the web for an answer to my laptop's problem but no luck so far. My laptop specs are: purchased in 2002 AMD athlon 1399MHz Windows XP (recently updated to SP2) 350 MB RAM On boot up, the laptop occassionally starts going very fast when the Windows XP logo is displayed, the DVD drive then starts going crazy, the login window appears but the cursor is blinking very fast and I can't move the mouse
my dell dimension 2400 got so much spyware on it i could scan for it, but not remove it. i reinstalled xp and i the computer basically operates the same way. i am lucky to get anything to work with the keys but especially no function with the mouse. windows xp appears to be installed fine. i cannot get to system restore either. i have my dell laptop hooked to it with but cannot navigate at all in trying to link the two puters together. i wanted to completely format and reinstall xp but it appears it just copied over and still left me with the problems.
My computer has the so called hiccups. When I try to run something graphically, it will beep very softly and stall up then run fine, then beep and stall etc. I have no idea what triggered this insanity, but its gotten to the point where it will do it at random times even when i try to scroll, and it has done it during start up
im installing macromedia shockwave player so that i can log on to habbo hotel but all i keep on getting is a blue triangle red square and green circle in the left hand corner of the screen.Ive tried to set it up manually but for the installation complete sign to show the shapes are there.
Anyhow, on my second laptop, my roommate borrowed it and of course has no idea what she could've possibly ever done. She's probably a lil' too dense to realize if she download or got some kind of virus using it. And, of course, she didn't bother telling me right away so when I went to start up the laptop one day, it was going extremely slow.It took about 10 minutes for the laptop to boot to the windows login screen. Any mouse movement whether on the mousepad or when I hook up my USB mouse takes about 1 minute to register any movement. I haven't even been able to get to the main desktop screen. (I'm trying as I type.. but, judging by the length of how long it took the other stuff, I could be in for a long wait.) Even when I typed in the password it took about 5 minutes for it to seemingly type out.. but the "dots" cut off so I have no idea if it actually will go through or not or if I will get the "incorrect password" error message.
I can't remember all the specs for this desktop I bought for my younger brother, but it is a fairly new Gateway. I want to say that it is a Gateway� GT5656 (link:http://www.gateway.com/systems/series/529598054.php), but I can't be sure. The point is that the processor is plenty fast and RAM is not a problem. so the other day, I killed Vista via booting from XP Pro disk and reformatting the HDD. After this, I proceeded to put XP Pro on that same HDD. Everything worked fine at first, I didn't even have to install any drivers. That's when I noticed that every time I would pull something up, like say explorer, and tried to move it about the screen with my mouse, it would jump all around the screen --- real glitchy-like. It does the same when I try to move notepad or solitaire around. I tried reformatting again, because after trying for awhile I guessed that wiping it again and reinstalling might work, but that didn't work either. Does anyone know what might be going on here? It almost seems as if it's running slow or something, but everything else works lightning fast. Just moving a window manually is the problem...
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.

If your screaming new XP system is too fast for older programs, download slow down your computer. (You choose a percent and it stays slow until you restore it or close the applet)
I placed My Computer on my taskbar toolbar [shown on the image attached]. And when tried to point my mouse cursor for emample on Drive C, it shows the menu too fast. It is different on the speed when I right-click on the desktop and point to a menu. I'm using Win XP SP1

I have a ton of programs that come up at boot up on my laptop, this is ok with me except when I'm running on batteries. I want to be able to setup another "login" so that I can boot my laptop fast.How can I do this? I tried setting up a 2nd login but I couldn't find away to stop all of the programs from loading at startup for that one login.
I tried to run pro tools one day and it couldn't read the audio fast enough. I tried running the def rag and it wouldn't analyze or def rag. I tried typing in stuff in the command prompt like i had seen on some websites and installing the def rag inf file but that didn't work either and i also tried disk keeper and it didn't start.

My XP partition 25 GB is down to a few MB From 800 MB
Virus Scan reveals nothing. I have MSE. I have CCleaner but using it is not restoring any space. I noticed a file named cisvc.exe and found it was 'content indexing service'.I turned off XP file indexing. But perhaps some trash index is still there on my system? How do I find it? XP search function is not working on my PC.
I was hit with a spyware which I just cleaned. Anyway, my problem now is that under Internet Explorer or Explorer itself, when I start typing in a path, it doesn't let me finish and revert back to the current path.
Eg. current path is c:windows
If I want to go say c:program files, while typing C:pro it will refresh the address bar and revert back to c:windows. I have to type pretty fast to be able to reach the desired path.
This computer is a Dell desktop, win xp with a fast processor. It's glitching up a was hoping I could get some advice. It's my bosses computer and he is having alot of problims with it and its starting up.
I have an AMD Athlon XP 64 3700 2.2 GHZ Processor with 3GB of Ram. My computer is pretty fast, but just recently the startup has been sooo slow. i switched my log in screen to the classic with the autmatic login about two months ago and everything was fine tell about a week or two ago. When i start up my computer it will get to where its time to load the desktop and the log in dialog box will show up and it will finish and then this is where it should load all my startup programs and desktop icons, but it just loads my desktop background picture and then wait about 45 seconds to a minute and it will make the windows startup music and then wait about another minute and then it will start to load all my desktop icons and startup programs. I have tried al most everything. I have ran AVG antivirus about 10 times with updated defiinitions, ran ad-aware, ran spybot search and destory, registry mechanic, ccleaner. I have listen to other suggestions. I have gone into msconfig and removed all startup items, and even tried to remove uncessesary start up services from there as well. NOTHING works.
I'm currently running Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and, as I'm a Military man not a computer-genius, I am not able to figure out exactly what the problem is upon when I boot my computer. Upon starting up my edition of Microsoft XP (running on a Celeron D, HP Computer) it fails to load/open as fast it normally would. It normally takes about 15 minutes for things to start working until this folder pops-up.Now, I've been hesitant in deleting the folder (so that my computer loads faster) but I'm not quite sure about its contents and don't want to delete the folder unless I know exactly what its contents are. Above is a preview of what the folder contains within it, the folder is named "Common" and that is how it has appeared.When I first got the computer (about a year ago) the folder never appeared to launch during the starting-up period when you first turn the computer on. Until this folder appears, no other program will run and the lag on the computer is enormous. Is there something in which I can do to delete this folder (mind you, I don't know the folders actual location) to stop it from slowing my computer down and causing so many lag issues?
Recently, my computer's startup in Windows XP has been getting slower and slower, the first loading screen takes a little while, but the most annoying part is that once I'm inside Windows, everything appears loaded, except for the icons in the taskbar, and I cannot click on the Start button or do anything, I must wait for the entire system to finish loading before I can do anything. I don't have many programs in my startup either.
I have two front USB ports, and when I insert the usb flash drive in this ports the notifyer tells me that there are more fast ports in the pc, Yes the two other ports in the back of the pc case are faster. Can I make the front ports fast too?
My computer suddenly started playing audio files too fast, such that they sound like the Chipmunks. This is for direct CD play as well as MP3 files on a variety of players. I tried adjusting hardware acceleration (as suggested on another website) and as I suspected, it didn't work. Any suggestions to fix this? Windows XP SP3 Pentium 4 3.00 GHz Audio: RealTek AC'97

I am a pc technican, I have noticed that over the years whenever i have a particular brand of pcs sometimes some pcs boot up much faster than others, sometimes even when the spec is better on some systems, i have a dell pc here i have been asked to replace a psu on, i am just wondering why exactly it boots up really fast, in comparison to some new builds i build sometimes, with the latest components faster ram etc, maybe it`s the hard drives some of these are using?
Isn't it annoying when you want to go to a new website, or any other site but your homepage, and you have to wait for your 'home' to load?This tweak tells Internet Explorer to simply 'run', without loading any webpages. (If you use a 'blank' page, that is still a page, and slows access. Notice the 'about:blank' in the address bar. The blank html page must still be loaded..). To load IE with 'nothing' [nothing is different than blank]:1. Right-click on any shortcut you have to IE[You should create a shortcut out of your desktop IE icon, and delete the original icon]2. Click Properties3. Add -nohome [with a space before the dash] after the endquotes in the Target field.4. Click OKFire up IE from your modified shortcut,
Organize my computer a lot and I have this problem where on my old windows 98 machine when I found a file i didn't want i would click on it then hit delete enter really fast so that it would close the conformation dialog. But the problem is on Windows XP if I hit Delete Enter fast it opens the dam file before it deletes it.It really bugs me and working with Photoshop PSD files it takes a long time to load photoshop up when it opens a file.
i have a dual core 2.8 ghz intel 64 bit processor.
do you think that x64 offers any practical advantages? will windows actually run faster using x64?
i realize there is a limited recourse of applications that actually take advantage of x64 bit processing; however i'd appreciate some of your opinions.
photo editing and other windows functions will benefit from having a 64 bit OS?
