Mouse Pointer Jumps When Trying to "Grab" Border

 Last reviewed: September 12, 1996
Article ID: Q109517
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mouse versions 8.2, 9.0, and 9.1.
  • Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11
  • Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to "grab" the border of a window, the mouse pointer may jump as much as one-half inch from the border. The pointer still appears as a split arrow, and you can still resize the window.

CAUSE

This problem can be caused by a poorly written video driver.

RESOLUTION

Change the video driver to VGA, or contact your video board manufacturer for an updated video driver.
