Hi all strange thing has started happening when using the PC. ( using a USB type)

If I move the mouse pointer across the screen the pointer keeps getting stuck now and again the jumps to catch up.

VERY annoying.

I have already tried a different mouse and that does the same.
I have also re installed the mouse and drivers but still no luck

Anybody got any ideas

Please
 
Sounds more like a resources issue.

When you get a stall like that it normally indicates full cpu usage, full pagefile, ram issues.

Apart from this, do things take long to load/open?

You may need to do some maintenance.
 
If a usb mouse, then have you tried a different usb port? I mean its something to help rule out a dodgy port.
Im assuming your not using colourful mouse mats or something as you know what optical mice are like.
 
thanks for all you help guys I used xprepair pro and also turned of as much as I could that was running in the back ground and now the problem appears to have gone away.

So thanks again and now just keeping my fingers crossed although it is a bit difficult typing
