Mouse problem

[Rainy]

I have been searching for a couple of days but am so unsure if I am doing
the right thing, I am posting here. I am trying to play "80 days around the
world" and when I do, my cursor shakes, I have reinstalled both the nvidia
graphics and the video drivers, uninstalled the game, and manually removing
the game folder and also software entries in both hkey machine and hkey
user. I also did a search for the game on my computer and deleted everything
that came up by that name. Then reinstalled the game, but still my cursor is
shaking. I thought it could be my driver for my mouse but the mouse seems
to be working ok otherwise . I went to device manager and found that it is
listed as a Microsoft ps/2 mouse, ? but know it is a microsoft optical! ,
$14 at OFFICE max.. I cannot find my mouse drive, the one that came with
the mouse.

Windows XP
SP3

I think the game started to act up after I installed SP3.. I didn't have a
good install, tried to use system restore to remove and start over, but it
would not work for me.
Any help appreciated as always.. thanks Rainy

Try uninstalling the mouse from Device Manager and restarting, see if it
picks it up correctly. Try using drivers off the CD that came with it, if
one did and you still have it. Try asking in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.games in case someone in that group has had
similar experiences.

Thanks so much... I will try this... can't find the group though.. I would
like it to come to my inbox like this one does.. is there a link you can
give me for the games group? Thanks, Rainy

You're using Outlook Express, so to get to that group:

Click on Tools > Newsgroups (or press Ctrl+W)

Make sure you've selected the right account on the left side (if more than
one account is set up)

In "Display Newsgroups which contain" type "windowsxp.games" (without
quotes)

You should now see the microsoft.public.windowsxp.games group in the
newsgroup list below. Click on it to select it, then on "Subscribe", then OK
or "Go to".

How you've set things to go to your Inbox (if that's really what you mean)
is another matter...

msnnews..microsoft.com already there..
