jumpy mouse fix

Post by onetrueday »

I dont know if I'm the only one who gets this, but sometimes I suffer from 'jumpy' mouse. This fix always seems to work for me too and I dont know why. Even though I have my IE cache folder set to 250megs, if I dont clean it for a while my mouse gets jumpy. I often only have 40 of the 250megs full, but it still happens! I just clean the cache and presto... problem is solved!

Wow,

That's really interesting. That happens to me quite often.

I've never been able to peg it down. I have a wireless mouse, so I try to change batteries and usually that makes no difference. I tried to use a mem manager to clear up memory, usually no difference. I try to clean the mouse, usually no difference.

Then it just goes away. Usually I clear my cache every few days or so manually, I bet that's probably what fixes it.

I'll let you know if it works for me, next time it happens.

Good ole MS at it again.

Lex
