This simply means that your OS is busy with something else than processing mouse movements - the mouse freezes and it issues small little beeps for every mouse packet that falls over the edge of the mouse-event-queue with a scream of panic "waaaaaaaah (beepbeep)"

Either you live with it or you provide yourself with an operating system which at all times processes mouse events at due time - without need to drop them cuz of a full queue.

shame on me ... either small or little ... but the two of them together ... my english profs would writhe in pain...

Well, imagine some kind of driver (they have higher priority in windows as even the most cpu hogging user process) gets sort of hiccup (like polling on a register ... it is not windows itself but badly debugged and worst designed drivers) and doesn't want to release the cpu. Any user process doing some math f. ex. gets usually preempted by a driver doing its job.

I think it's normal for windows, but ask Tim Robinson, our Guru, for further details.

Really? This is a standard thing for Windows to do??

Well, i'm kinda of relieved that nothing's wrong. But why does it keep dropping mouse packets?? It happens at the strangest times (when not too many programs are running, either).... and it sometimes gets out of control (it just keeps happening over and over) ??

Must admit it is, imo, probably a virus. I have that too when in windows. Mouse jerks around, probably because I have logitechs and windows misinterprets some of the packets as some other kind that have inverted bits or so. It regularly makes an instant jump of 256 or 512 pixels (exactly) to the right, and the system speaker just beeps at completely random moments, no reason there is. Also, the system is slow as hell, but I associate that with microsoft software somehow, since if I turn off all except explorer.exe all software works reasonable again.

If you find a solution, please let me know...
