USB Mouse cause's audio visual problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I narrowed down a choppy sound and video problem to my Microsoft Optical
Wireless USB wheel mouse. When I have my old PS2 mouse connected everythings
fine but with the new USB mouse is plugged in, any music or video played is
very stuttery.
All my other USB devices (cable modem and printer) do not affect it in any
way.
I have XP with all latest updates (SP2), does anyone know a solution they
could share with me? and yes I know using my old mouse would solve my
problems or even a USB to PS2 adapter but that's not the answer I'm after.
Please reply to group.
Many thanks in advance.

Sorry about that, yes the sound and graphics are onboard and it is an AC'97
soundcard, I remember from when I downloaded newer drivers hoping that might
cure the mouse problem, the graphics is SIS and I've downloaded latest
drivers for this too. How do I tell if I have a VIA chipset? Bit of a novice
here.
Many thanks
