Ok so here is the deal. I just built a new rig and it has one single completely annoying quirk.... And that is for some reason the mouse seems to get "laggy" when I move the corsor over say a icon or a banner ina website or menu's and it even seems to lag sometimes in games. I am at a loss lol Vsync and unclicked the option for "make the mouse more precise" or some ***. Any suggestions on anything else I can try.

Here is my setup... If you need more information let me know...

Asus M4A78-E mobo
PhenomII x4 920
2x Visiontek HD4850 cards in crossfire (( only on bridge connector on the first set of pins ))
8gb PC677 Ram, only registering 7 though so could bad ram cause my prob?
and the rest is unimportant I think.... anyways is worth a shot to see if anyone has any suggestions cause google etc. is getting me nowhere

Might want to check your RAM again to see what it is... I'm assuming you meant DDR2 667, but I just want to make sure. That's kinda slow :/

Uh, what type of mouse is it?

This may or may not be of help. Two thinks I can things of, happened to me, and I pulled my hair out for two weeks before fixing it. I'm not sure about vista, but I have XP Pro, and a deathadder. The mouse was set to 1000hz, and XP was at 125. I'm not sure what fixed it though, because I broke the scientific process, and added a PCI USB card, and plugged the mouse into that. After I changed XP's polling rate and started using the PCI usb port, everything was peachy. Could have been the rate, could have been something with the USB, not certain. The USB ports I originally used the mouse in work fine for other things, so I'm not sure. Just putting some quick easy fixes out there :)

try reinstalling the mouse driver .

Head for device manager , find the mouse entry and then remove it which uninstalls the driver . Reboot and windows will install a driver .
If a driver disk came with the mouse dont install it till you have tried it with the driver windows chooses

Does it work now?

This sounds like a driver issue. I saw something like this too, until my loading the Win7 RC basically reset everything.

well I borrowed a logitech mouse from a friend, and it seems to have fixed the issue. There is no lag or jumpyness at all now so it must be something with that intellipoint driver. I also ordered 8gb of pc9600 ram to upgrade to just in case I am bottlenecking the cpu somehow. Thanks for the tips guys always such a big help on this site.
