Baffling mouse cursor freezes if I remove the WIRED ethernet connection??

Hi all
I just installed XP professional on my S10 model 4231 bios 14cn34ww dated 08/26/2008
so if I run it connected to the lan using the wired connector all is well BUT the moment I take out the rj45 the mouse cursor freezes. If I plug it back in then all is well again.
I want to use this outside so I need to get this fixed.
any ideas please?
thanks
Solved!

hi majorkong,
It sounds like there's a possible short somewhere on the system.
Try to do the following:
1. Restart the computer in Safe Mode with Networking (continuously press F8 during boot-up).
2. If all is well, perform a clean boot and observe.
3. If same problem, open Network Connections (press Windows Key + R, then type ncpa.cpl)
4. On the network connections, disable the Local Area Connection.(do a right click > disable)
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
5. After disabling the LAN, reboot into normal mode & try to use the Touchpad
6. If the Touchpad responded without any issues, try to re-install both the Ethernet driver and then re-install theTouchpad driver
Broadcom Ethernet Driver          Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
v11.31.01                                        v11.1.9.0
IN3ETN03WW1.exe                     IN2THP04WW1.exe
5.02MB                                           6.45MB
Let me know your findings.
Cheers

New condition baffling mouse cursor freezes if I put it on a flat surface even with ac plugged in

Hi all
I am now really stumped. Here is the situation
ac adaptor plugged in mouse freezes
UNTIL I plug in WIRED and working lan cable.
if I unplug the lan cable from the router the mouse cursor freezes.
NOW that would be strange enough BUT if I unplug the LAN cable the mouse freezes again as expected UNTIL I lift up the S10 ( doesn't matter how I do it) the mouse starts to work again!!!! with the ac plugged in. So now you are all thinking it's the ac socket !!! nope thought about that and it's got nothing to do with it. The mouse freezes the moment I put the computer down on a flat surface or even near it.
It's as if the bloody thing is effected by proximity to a mass ? anyone got any ideas

Hi majorkong,
Additional ideas are possible shorts internal to the system. I definitely have a reason to believe that the unit has a hardware problem. This is either through the touchpad, touchpad cable, or on the motherboard.
As I see here you have already communicated with us before. Here is your previous thread with us.
Have a good night.

G570 USB mouse cursor freezing constantly

The problem will be explained lower but let me tell you how this was.
So I've had this problem like 1,5 years ago, after I bought the laptop. So I bought a cheap mouse for it back then, and I noticed that the laptop had problems with the USB mouse, fine, I thought it was the poor mouse, so I bought another cheap one, and it worked fine. Then I bought a gamepad, and again, this problem.
Today I bought a gaming mouse, and the problem re-appeared. I've been searching through the internet all day long.
Basically, the mouse cursor freezes constantly, also with that "plugged-unplugged" sound, but the touchpad works.
I've been looking all around, tried the mouse on another laptop and it works fine.
I've tried:
- Starting the laptop in safe mode.
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the realtek USB reader or w/e its name is.
- The device manager trick (I think you know what I'm talking about)
- Been changing the OS many times after I bought the laptop, that problem persisted with the gamepad.
- Tried different ports around the laptop.
None of them helped. BUT, I saw that actually it hangs when the CPU is throttling. I've changed my power plan to energy saver and the problem went away. I've changed the maximum/minimum CPU power, the problem went away.
But the frequency sets constantly at 800 MHz. What can I do to keep it at 2200 MHz (i3-2330M clock speed) and also keep the mouse working well?

Hey Barrett_killz,
Welcome to the forums
I would suggest you trying out a different USB mouse and see if that helps
Cant suggest anything else as you have already uninstalled and installed the Drivers
keep me posted
Lets make 2015 the year of the #DO

Mouse cursor freezing up

I am a new iMAC user after many years on a PC. Quite often my mouse cursor freezes up on the screen and my only remedy seems to be to shut down and reboot. This can't be right! There must be a better solution. Can anyone out there assist me?

I've had the exact same problem ever since I upgraded to Leopard, and the successive updates, including the very latest 10.5.3, have not solved it! I am so disappointed. This is a severe bug. I used to be able to fix it by logging in and out, but today I had to shutdown and restart because my keyboard logout command was not getting through. I can't be sure about this, but it seems as though the problem occurs if I happen to be still be moving the mouse cursor and the logout sequence is engaged. It's as if moving the mouse cursor at this critical time is causing the system to have to keep track of it AT THE SAME TIME the system is trying to kill my user processes. The mouse cursor process ends up dead alright, all the way to the login screen! (Those who are familiar with how UNIX manages processes will understand what I'm talking about.) Please Apple, fix this. Please. This didn't use to happen in Tiger, so how does something like this get broken?

What is the optical output bit/sample rate of an Apple TV3 when using the wired network connection. 16/48 or 24/48.

What is the optical output bit/sample rate of an Apple TV3 when using the wired network connection. 16/48 or 24/48.

It doesn't matter what type of network connection it has its output is 16/48.

Mouse cursor freezes a few seconds after start-up? Need help!

Laptop: Samsung Series 9
OS: Windows 8.1
Problem: since booting up my computer today, my cursor will freeze about 30 seconds after boot-up. Prior to this, I'll be able to move my cursor for a few seconds as I normally would, but then I will inevitably see the blue loading circle next to the cursor
and then my cursor will be frozen in place. I can still use my keyboard/everything else functions regularly. I decided to boot up my computer in safe mode and my cursor works fine. Clearly then, there must be some software/start-up issue?
I should note that I used my laptop fine yesterday night. When I booted it up today my cursor froze and I saw the restart prompt that said windows will restart on its own in 1 day to update. So I updated/restarted and the problem persists.

Hi,
Mostly, this issue is caused by third party services or programs conflict problem.
Please use Clean Boot to troubleshoot:
How to perform a clean boot in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

In addition, please check and install the mouse driver from the vender official website.

Mouse Cursor Freezes

The mouse cursor is freezing momentarily before resuming. I have changed ports and plugged in another mouse (used) and it still happens.
I am running 10.4.11 on an eMac G4.

Also, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

Quirky Mouse/Cursor Freeze

Greetings Again,
My iMac is running pretty well but it has developed a quirky habit of a temporary freeze if I move the mouse (cursor) too fast! Has anybody experienced this fun thing ? I move the mouse to a distant point it will not follow me without first going into a freeze maybe midway and then it catches up with where I'm going.
If it does this this too much then can eventually go into a permanent system freeze which will require a system restart and then it goes through the Disc Repair routine, etc.
My first inclination was to toss it off as "oh well, this is just iMac, what do you expect" but then when I recover I tell myself "no,no, it never did this before !."
I've tried the usual - Rebuild Desktop, temporarily cancel Extensions, move files temporarily to Trash, etc.
No change !
I'm using my Mozilla browser with Netscape.
Thanks,
Jack

I'm using my Mozilla browser with Netscape.
Do you mention this fact because this mousing problem happens when you are running Mozilla? Or does it happen all the time?
I've tried the usual...
Did you reset the PRAM? Also, your PRAM battery can be weak or dead, which can cause unusual problems.
temporarily cancel Extensions
Is that a "shift boot" (hold down shift key during start up until you get the "extensions off" message)? If it's something else, try a shift boot to see if the problem persists. If it does not persist, you may have a system extension conflict, or some other problem with our current system installation. If it does persist after an "extensions off" startup, you may have a hardware problem. Try a different USB mouse, if you have one. Also, try a different USB port with the same mouse.

Why does the mouse cursor move to away from the currrent application without the mouse being moved

the mouse cursor moves away from the current application without the mouse having been moved - this started with the new version - re-installing Firefox makes the problem go away for a short period - re-installing is not a solution
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days after installing 3.6.3

Hello Jim.
It's probably one of three things:
#your mouse is getting old (this behavior is common in old optical mouses);
#you have software that is making your mouse cursor behave unexpectedly (I know of an option in Windows that will automatically move your mouse to windows buttons...);
#or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

NOTEBOOK MOUSE CURSOR FREEZES

Hiplease help ...my mouse curson freezes frequetly and that is irritating me alot. drivers needs update???

Not here. Your description matches a worn mouse. Have you tried cleaning the bottom of the mouse and also the mousepad? How old is the mouse? If you have access to a known-good USB mouse, try using that and see if that indicates that the OS X update was coincidence, and that your present mouse may have a frayed wire inside the cable or other fault. Replacement three-button scrollwheel USB mice sell for anywhere from US$20 to $90 and should be a matter of just plugging it in (additional driver software is only needed if you want to access additional model-specific features).

How can I remove the JDBC (JDNI) Connection Information prompt?

Hi everyone,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and a JDBC connector to a MySQL database.
My reports work well, but I'm always prompted to enter the database password in the JDBC (JDNI) Connection Information window prompt. The other fields (server, database, user ID) are automatically populated, but I have to enter the password.
Is there anyway for me to bypass this prompt altogether? Or, can I manually hard code the database password somewhere?
Thank you!

Hi Rachel,
You can't get around this unless the driver supports Trusted Authentication which uses the local user log on credentials. It's just the way it works. Crystal will not and never has saved the database password and never will. This would be a major security issue. Anyone could get your report and have full access to the DB.
Thank you
Don

I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

I want to use Airport Express in my hotel room using the wired internet connection, but I don't carry a computer, just my iPad. Is that possible?

I want to use AirPort Express when I am traveling. I would like to use a wired internet connection in a hotel room to create a wireless connection. However, I do not normally carry my laptop, just my iPad. Is it possible to do this?

You will have to pre-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on your computer before you leave on the trip. The Express will store and remember the settings.
You might want to check with the hotel in advance to make sure that they have Ethernet ports available. Most hotels have switched to wireless and the others are not far behind.

My mouse cursor is slightly off to the left

This is an annoying problem and affects all apps.
If I want to select text and place my cursor just before the first character, it skips it.
If I want to "x-out" my small Opera tabs, I actually have to almost click outside of the X to the left to close it.
This becomes evident also in mouse-overs. It'll mouse-over even before hovering on top.
I tried searching all over, found that some had a similar problem but no solution. Maybe some here have advice? I tried to browser zoom thingy to no avail. It affects the Apple Mail buttons as well so seems like it goes "deeper" than that. I'd appreciate any help.
Edit: This problem appeared recently. It hasn't been around long. I just can't pinpoint at what instance and circumstance. Mouse is MX518 that's I've used in 5 Macs in 6 years without any problems like this. I had installed Logitech's useless control center which doesn't even support the MX518. I uninstalled it and installed USB Overdrive. It was after some time of using USB Overdrive that I started noticing problems. Thinking that it was the culprit, I uninstalled it but nothing happened.

It does appear so. It could be in /Library/ but nothing in /System/Library/ You won't need to touch the System Library.
It would be good to test a USB mouse to see if that is different, otherwise it could be a stab in the dark on what the affected file is and where. If it's drivers, contact the manufacturer/developer of the drivers.
Also, if you click and drag on the desk top, does the point actually match up with the bottom right corner of the rectangle? If it doesn't, the actual cursor image may be off and something installed may be causing that.
Also, try Safe boot, hold shift when the computuer boots(on the chime if kb is wireless, or prior if USB KB). You will see a grey progress bar to indicate it is starting. This mode will prevent any third party software from starting on boot.

My mouse cursor is not working in the windows, but on tabs and commands it still is

My mouse is not active when I am in the windows in firefox. I can still click and activate options on the toolbar, but cannot activate within a tab or window. I have to use the tab option on my keyboard to move through the window and press enter to submit.
