Ok, my first question was going to be directed to MS tech support, but we'll
get to why I'm going here instead later.
I setup Vista on my computer (specs to follow) and everything runs smooth,
except the mouse. Every couple mins it freezes for 3-5 seconds, the frequency
increases when I play games. At first I though this may be due to the
computer simply being too slow and the mouse freezing as memory is used up.
While it does seem like it sometimes, my computer is new, so this shouldn't
be. Also, it does it when using pretty old games, like Freelancer. This is
particularly annoying in games as my character will suddenly be spinning with
no control while I'm being shot at or some such. This never happened with XP,
even during memory intensive operations the mouse wouldn't just freeze.
Specs.
Mouse - Logitech G5
CPU - Core 2 Duo 6700
RAM - 2 GB DDR2
Video - Geforce 9700 GTX
Mobo - Asus P5N32 SLI Premium
HDD - WD5000YS
Monitor - Dell 2407
Sound -SB X-Fi Platnum
That should be everything, running latest drivers.
Also. I just bought this copy of Vista Ultimate, activated it and
everything, but when I went to get MS support I input my Product ID and it
said invalid. OEM version from newegg.com, ummm... yea, WTF? any reason why
it wouldn't work (checked about 10 times to make sure it wasn't mistyped)
Thanks ahead of time for any help you can give me.
