WINXPPRO | Mouse Issues

[TheAngryPenguin]

This one\'s *really* bugging the hell out of me.  After a few minutes after a fresh start of WinXP Pro, my mouse will suddenly and unexpetedly start to pause and skip while making any movement.  The following event appears in my Event Log:


Event Type: Information
Event Source: i8042prt
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12
Description:
The ring buffer that stores incoming mouse data has overflowed (buffer
size is configurable via the PS/2 mouse properties in device manager).


I have tried increasing the Input Buffer Length, as well as using a different mouse.  Nothing seems to help.  Here are my system specs:


AMD Athlon 850
ASUS K7V-RM (ver. 103a BIOS) [using onboard audio, ugh!]
2 X 128MB PC133 RAM
3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
40GB Maxtor 7200 RPM
ESS ES56T-PI Data Fax Modem
D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter


The above-listed BIOS version is the only one available from ASUS.  All applicable drivers are WHQL certified.  I have even tried using VIA\'s current 4-in-1 drivers.  By the way, this was never an issue with WIN98SE or W2KPRO.

Any ideas???

update the driver of ur mouse make sure they are win xp compatible

Uninstall any mouse drivers restart and let winxp pro find your mouse as a simple ps2 mouse .
I have a logitech marble mouse but I never installed the logitech software in winxp pro . Works fine with the ps2 driver of windows xp pro .
Good luck !

I have tried both standard XP/PS2 mouse drivers as well as vendor-specific drivers to no avail.  I have increased the buffer size.  I have also swapped my Logitech with a standard Microsoft Intellimouse.  The same thing happens.  I just checked the HCL and noticed that my motherboard has \"No Test Data\" relating to XP

I have even switched to three different external modems (since this usually only happens when I am dialed in).  There is only one version of BIOS available for my motherboard (unless you think it might be safe to use a BIOS from a similar model, like the K7V).  It appears that I am just S.O.L. running XP with my configuration.  Looks like I will have to revert back to WIN2KPRO.  This so much sucks!
