Sanchez Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 When moving around the cursor will jump around.. This started a couple of days ago, i've been running vista for at least 3 weeks It's a Razer Copperhead, I'm using a final vista, with latest beta vista drivers (although the same happened with microsoft drivers). I have tried the following Cleaning the laser, surface (these are clean anyway) Different USB ports different sensitivities in the mouse control panel In an XP computer (It worked fine) The specs of this computer: AMD FX-60 939 1GB Corsair XMS XFX 7900 GTX DFI Nf4 Ultra Expert motherboard Much obliged!

Jasper Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Try a different ground for your mouse. My aunt had the problem with her Mouse underground - it jumped when it passed a certain printed image on it- so switching it might do wonders. it hasn't jumped over the screen since. (Off topic) - Oh and here's my different reply: mac. Oh wait. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Now I remember the word... It was... surfacce! And I'm saying underground. Change of surface and post if it works, will ya? And about that 'eating alive' thing. i've had worse. oh wait - that's not true. Except that I live in Belgium he can never trace mpe anyway. Unless he eats all Belgians, wich means I will be in the list. He's hungry, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 It's not the surface and fuck your mac answer, their mice drag more than a prostitute. After some further tests, it seems that the jumps are proportional to the speed i'm moving the mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 It's not the surface and fuck your mac answer, their mice drag more than a prostitute. :laughing: I think it most probably has something to do with the drivers. I used my Logitech MX 518 with an old driver set on a pretty bad surface and it jumped occasionally. When I installed new drivers everything was fine. Could be the same problem with you. Although the thing about proportional brought another thought up: my mouse recently began to jump again because the Laptop was pretty much fucked thanks to the IBM tools and drivers. This was due to little system freezes. This could also be the reason in your case. After all Vista is pretty resource hungry and it's still very new.

Sanchez Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thanks to people who helped. I discovered the problem, there were some incompatibilities with the drivers i had installed and the firmware the mouse was using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Vista's mouse driver probably sucks. Can't find a proper mouse driver for my mouse for XP either, so it jumps around now and then, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the magic. perhaps you should throw your Windows out of the window? Sorry, it was just too irrestable. I never had any problems with a mouse on windows (nor mac, if that's the matter).

Jasper Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 ... I'm seriously considering a Mac. It's not because of the mouse issue though. You're not actually mentioning mac in a computer-related article? You could just be killed for that by certain people. We should all be silent about Macs and pretend they don't exist. Just like the best stuff, it's not allowed. Anyway, I'de greatly advise you to get a mac, though. It's simple and intuitive. I talked to a friend yesterday whop had recently purchased a mac and he said he was afraid of the switch to macOs X because he thought it would be hard. It took him ten minutes to get used to it and he doesn't want to go back after a quarter of an hour. That roves it, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
