I tried that solution as well to no avail.
The Basic Optical Mouse that I am using showed no improvement. The mouse
acts like it is resetting or realinging itself as it dashes to the ends of
the screen. It seems to do this randomly. There are times when many hours
go by without this happening. Sometimes, only a few minutes separate
instances of this weird behavior.
The solution specified some registry items, which I was supposed to delete,
that were not in my registry.
Also, I tried changing the Sample Rate and Input Buffer Length within the
driver without any change in performance.
It now appears that the mouse hardware itself may be to blame. Maybe, it's
time to revert back to a mouse with a roller ball...or buy an optical mouse
from a different vendor.
What about the mouse pad? Could that be the cause of this weirdness? What
do you think about using an all-white pad as opposed to black one or one
with a design?
