Santa-Jack 0 Posted April 5, 2001 I recently acquired a few Toshiba Equium 5160D PCs with the following specs: Pentium 166 64 MB RAM WD 644A Hard Drive (Some have Maxtor HDs) Toshiba Floppy & CD-ROM Integrated Intel NIC/ATI Video/Creative Labs Sound I am running a fresh install of Windows 98 SE on them but have run into a problem with the mouse. When the hard drive is being accessed, the mouse cursor moves really slow and jumps across the screen when I move it. I have not been able to figure out exactly what the problem is or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help... Share this post Link to post
