    Hi,

    Just have my brand new Dell Studio 17 here, take me a while to get it setup the way i want, but have a question.

    The mouse pointer seems to be a bit slow, its 4GB and decent processor, so i really wasnt expecting this, its almost like it a slow machine.

    Any suggestions from anyone?
    Im going to use that de crap thing that takes the preloaded programs of Dells, but just thought id throw the question to see if anyone has a definate answer.

    Cheers.

    what do you define is slow?

    is it just slow moving but still smooth?

    or is it jerky and unresponsive?

    if it's the former you can change it's sensitivity in Control Panel >> mouse.

    No its not that its slow moving due to settings, although i have adjust that as i like it responsive.

    Its slow as in you move it, but it stops and starts a bit. You know if i was moving it from one position to another it would stop for a split second, then jump to where it should be.

    Mouse mat's hardly dirty, is it? Or is there something running in the background? Check with task manager or process explorer.

    Not mouse mat, its a laptop touch pad.
    You could be right about the things running in the backround as Dell put alot of junk on their machines.

    But i really didnt think it would have a noticable effect on a new machine, its only going to get worse once i load on the programs i need as well!

    1. Test in safe mode.turn on and keep tapping f8 go into safe mode and see if it happens.

    2. Also make sure your hands are clean , not oily and aswell not wet.
    3. Check with an external usb mouse if same issue.
