Erratic cursor, Windows XP and IBM NetVista
Hi,
At work I have just been given an IBM NetVista 6350-53U, P4 2Ghz, with 1Gb of memory. It is installed with MS-Windows XP. Its primary use is as a Java development workstation. Normally I have Eclipse, Mozilla, iTunes, Trillin and and Windows Explorer running. The problem is that when ever the is a slight CPU spike the cursor slows down or jumps around. Also sometimes iTunes will stutter, but this is less frequent than the mouse issue. My last computer was a no-brand P3 800Mhz with 512Mb of memory, running Windows 2000. It is running the same batch of programs as the new computer. It was slow in comparison, but I never experienced this sort of erratic behaviour with the mouse cursor, or iTunes sound break up. It is using the exact same Logitech optical USB mouse as I am using with the IBM (I just switched it over). I have no idea whether this issue is MS-WIndows XP related or IBM NetVista related. I downloaded and installed the latest mouse driver from Logitech, but that doesn't seem to have helped things. Does anyone have any suggestions? My support staff thinks its my issue - their way of saying they don't want to deal with the problem :-/ regards Tarken |

I'm sorta with your support staff ... this is a newsgroup for dealing
with Windows Millenium issues; Windows XP is down the hall to your left in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.... hierarchy.
