Slow acting mouse with SW 2007

    Greetings All,
    I'm using the Student Version on a new Dell desktop and any mouse button
    commands are delayed about 1 second before taking action on the screen.
    Right and left clicking are delayed, moving the cursor is ok. I've used this
    same program installed on my old pc without the problem. The desktop is
    pretty loaded, dual nVidia 8800 GTs, 3.00G Quad core processor, etc. I'm
    wondering if there is a setting that I've overlooked in SW, or maybe the
    mouse isn't good with SW??? The mouse is a Microsoft gaming mouse, but it
    works fine with everything else. Any ideas? I'll probably pick up a
    different mouse to see if it helps. TIA, Mark

    Most likely your non-CAD approved gaming video card. Get yourself a
    Quadro with an approved video card driver for SW and I am sure your
    issue will go away.

    Thanks Anna, I didn't think about checking the video card to see if it was
    CAD approved before ordering. Next time I'll know.....
