Solve : Problems with sensitive cursor after installing RAM?

Answer»

Hi everyone.
I've recently installed another gig of RAM to boost the total up to 2 gig.
Since then I'm having problems with an over sensitive cursor.
To be exact, when I click 'Back' it sometimes goes back 2 or 3 pages. This also happens when I try to click open an application like INTERNET express, it will open 2 or more pages.
Also if I try to highlight TEXT or multiple images, it will only (sometimes) pick up 1 word or image.

Have you any advice?

I am running
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Service PACK Service Pack 2
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)

Motherboard:
CPU Type AMD Duron, 1366 MHz (13.5 x 101)
Motherboard Name Abit VA-10/VA-11 (3 PCI, 1 AGP, 2 DIMM, Audio, Video, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8378 UniChrome KM400
System Memory 2016 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
Can you try another mouse? (preferably a PS/2 mouse)Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 17, 2008, 12:24:25 AM

Can you try another mouse? (preferably a PS/2 mouse)

I SUPPOSE that is an option albeit the mouse I'm using is wirelees along with the keyboard.
Would I be able to use a wired mouse with this?Yes, try a wired mouse.

Seeing as it is a wireless mouse, do you think it may be low on power or there is another device interfering with the wireless signal?I'll change the batteries first and see.
I can't think of anything else that's interfering with it.
Failing that I'll try a new mouse.All right. You should also be able to slow down the curser by opening Mouse in Control Panel...

From what he has told us, it's not the speed, but how many times it's clicking. Your right it's not the speed, it just gives multiple clicks and won't highlight.

I've just changed over to a wired mouse and it's working great.
Don't know why the RAM caused the other to do this, unless it's just a coincidence!

THANKS for all your help, really appreciated!Ok, as long as it's working.

If possible, I would use the wireless mouse on another computer and see if the problem remains. (just so you know)
Thanks again...I'll try that!Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 17, 2008, 08:35:47 AM

Clik speed can also be regulated the same way with most meece...Quote
