Windows 8 RP: Mouse jerking and freezing


Recommended Posts

Wow this is crazy. It just happened to me - Windows 8 RP. I don't usually use Firefox but when I opened it this is when it started happeni update: I mis-diagnosed, it was the USB Hard Drive that I don't usually use, and is a potentially faulty drive too.

I am using the trackpad on my laptop. When I put my finger on the trackpad (without moving my finger around) the cursor starts behaving erratically, jittering around in small movements until I let go. If I move my finger, the cursor jitters as I'm moving it. It makes it very hard to click things accurately.

I have not rebooted yet. Very strange.

update: Unplugging the USB Hard drive without rebooting fixed it.

I'm experiencing this issue with my mouse. Its a logitech mediaplay. Batteries are not low, its not bluetooth, and it worked on my win7 gear.

Just built a new rig with win 8 64bit, 32 gig ram, 2 hdd, 1 ssd, core i7, etc etc...

Mouse is just not fully responsive. My dad has a new win 8 computer as well, and connected a microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard to the comp and it was also jerky and not fully responsive.

No fix yet.

thanks
