format c:

My mouse seems to lag or freeze every time I launch an application after reformatting my hard drive, or move big files folder to different folder or even just surfing the net switching pages to pages. I was wondering if this has something to do with missing drivers. I believe I have reinstalled all the basic drivers I need such as video and audio drivers, but what could be the possible cause my new reformatted machine tend to lag or freeze for 5 to 45 seconds. I've never seen like these before. It's getting annoying. :yikes:

uninstall your mouse drivers, reinstall perhaps?

also... make sure you don't have any hardware conflicts dude. strange.

Check your bios enable caching

Mice need drivers? Ive always found them to be plug in play.

Well, standard mice with two / three buttons are plug and play. USB mice on older machines need drivers as well as mice with special feature buttons.

Check the carburetor.

I was going to suggest that, but first he might want to make sure muscles.dll is installed. That may be why the mouse has trouble moving large files.
