    When i play a game (COD4 or CSS) these are the ones i play currently i experience some mouse lag, like when i aim, turn around, it lags. And i know it's not the system or internet connection. One of my friends told me it might be Windows Vista which i doubt. But whatever.


    Anyone experiencing the same thing or similar?


    Maybe it's the graphics card?

    Maybe using newer mouse drivers and updating Vista could help?

    could be the mouse? I have had that issue before- something wrong with the actual mechanism of the mouse itself.

    If your computer came preinstalled with SP1, it occasionally screws up the touchpad drivers occasionally by causing the problem of when you sleep your computer and wake it, then the mouse just spazzes out for a few seconds. Simply uninstall the drivers and reinstall them which corrects the issue. Just FYI :)

    Okay. Yeah i am thinking about doing a reinstall of the Vista OS. But it does it to with the track pad, in game as well! Lol and my typing is somewhat delayd from when it appears on the screen.

    Lol, hope this reinstall will work.
