Slow/jerky mouse

[Elisabeth83]

Can anyone help, I am running autocad lt 2011 with the latest windows 7. My mouse is very jerky within paper or model space but especially when I try linear demand or line demand. It is driving me crazy!

 

I have tried accessing performance tuner but cannot find it, I have reset my hardware accelator to 0. I am not using an aero graphic within windows and am checking my graphics card.

 

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Is your SNAP MODE (F9) turned on? That will cause your mouse to be a jerk.

[Elisabeth83]

Ha:lol: if only that was the problem. First thing that was checked:(

Is this in all drawings or certain drawings only?

[Elisabeth83]

It happens in all drawings.

Are drivers up to date? What graphics card do you have?

 

Try -GRAPHICSCONFIG

 

and/or

 

_3DCONFIG

[Elisabeth83]

Neither of those commands will work:? (unknown command). The computor is brand new so assume drivers are up to date:unsure:. Have also updated Software.

[SLW210]

I forgot you were on LT. You need to find the latest driver, recent does not mean latest.

[Elisabeth83]

I have searched through 'my computor' and tried to update drivers - response is all drivers up to date. AAHHHH!!!!!!

 

Have found out though that graphics card is intel R G41 express chip set????

You have an integrated graphics chip not dedicated graphics card.

 

Is there even a driver available for this chipset that is specific to Windows 7?

Is it a wireless mouse? Sometimes changing the batteries helps, believe it or not.

Are you using an optical mouse on a smooth surface like glass? That can cause it to be jerky and slow. You can try using a mouse pad or a piece of paper.

Yes, but that is the same card I had, jerky mouse and cursor included. That card stinks for use with AutoCAD.

 

You will need another Graphics Card, I went with NVidia Quadro 600.

What antivirus/malware/firewall programs do you have installed?

[Elisabeth83]

The mouse is USB and problem does not go away when using a different mouse, We have AVG but no info boxes etc appear (like this computor needs permission etc). Sounds like its my graphics card, . Thanks for all the help, you will prob here from me soon if that doesn't work:lol:.

I have the same problem periodically. I just click regen all and its back to normal.

[Elisabeth83]

Hi, thanks will try that, as it was not the graphics card!!

[SLW210]

Hi, thanks will try that, as it was not the graphics card!!

 

What graphics card are you using now?

[Elisabeth83]

Hi

 

Its a Geforce?! but does not seem to solve the problem, will persist with trying the regen command!

You could try unchecking "Show rollover tooltips" under the Display tab in Options. Then close and reopen AutoCAD. This appeared to work for a friend of mine who had the same problem.
