USB mouse slower than touchpad's mouse

Hi

I have been posting to so many forums. The thing is, I can't format my machine, it belongs to my company and I have already requested it to be reimaged and this is the 3rd time. I ran the dell diagnostic test, and I still can't find any error and that means I can't get Dell to replace my motherboard..although I think something is wrong with my USB.

Its just that I notice that the windows desktop icon, or any application seems to open faster when I use the touchpad to double click. I actually just tap twice on the touchpad. This is without the USB mouse connected.
However, when I connect to the USB mouse, all windows apps, icons opens slowly. It kinda like take longer and the notebook freezes for 1 - 2 second..Its not smooth. I have tried everything..every single thing..reinstalling the drivers..and whatever..and no error code...with dell diagnostic..how am I gonna get them to change the usb ports..when there are no errors..

Please help

Hi Archer,

That's fast...thanks..my reply in red.


Have you tried the mouse on any other machine? - Yes, definitely not the mouse, I have even tried using different mouse on this notebook and all yield the same slowness...

Is the performance same on the other machine as well? - No,

Does the mouse makes touchpad slow if plugged in any USB port? - Yes..I have 3 usb ports, and if I try in either one port, it makes it slow.

Wheeww...lot of questions

You have updated the USB drivers. Try to update the drivers for USB mouse and check.- Oh,I thought it was auto installed, I checked in device manager and its okay. Should I try downloading from the mouse manufacturer..?

Hi Archer

The mouse is a dell mouse, and when I plugged it in, the driver is auto installed, and under the device manager it appears as HID-compliant device. That should be it right.

I am still facing the lag..especially when I click on something new. Like I open Microsoft Word, and start typing. and when I want to insert a table, it lags..for a while..then when I click to insert another table, that works fine..

Its strange...
