Title: mouse lagging sound and video
Post by: vertigo1 on October 03, 2006, 07:25:42 PM: recently i've notice that whenever i'm doing things on my computer that include playing sound or video, the sound and video get really laggy (skippy and staticy) when i move my mouse. It generally goes back to normal whenever i stop moving the mouse, but the gets laggy again when i start moving it again. It makes it almost impossible to watch videos, and the laggy sound will even affect some games that i play.

I have a toshiba 2.8 ghz laptop with 1.25gb of ram. It has a radeon mobility 7000igp graphics card and a realtec AC97 soundcard. Does anybody have any idea what is causing this and how i could fix it?

Have you ran a diagnostic scan on the HDD using software provided by the manufacturer?

I downloaded new mouse drivers, and though i haven't tested all the programs i was having trouble in, the problem seems to be better in one of the programs i was having trouble with.

Post by: vertigo1 on October 05, 2006, 04:31:26 PM: I've been able to update most of my drivers... i have problems updating my video drivers though.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 7000igp, but when i download drivers from ati, the softwhere says it won't work on my computer and i should get updates from the computer manufacterer. However, the latest video driver listed on the toshiba site for my computer is from June of 2004.

If you can't find them, E-mail ATI and ask them to E-mail you the drivers.
