Choppy cursor movement

[3/4Ram]

Hi, nice to meet everyone.
When on a forum that someone is using a animated graphic for a signature my cursor gets real choppy and it`s hard to navigate.
Is there anything i can download to easily fix this?
I`m running a Compaq, win. 98 SE, IE6, 128 Ram.
Computer is three years old.
Thanks.

What kind of mouse is it? USB, Infrared etc.
Take a looke at those links, and let us know if that doesn't help.

Thanks bassetman, it`s a usb mouse, i`m pretty sure it isn`t a mouse problem it only does it if i`m on a page that has a lot of moving graphics on it, and only does it while moving the cursor close to the graphic.

Edited to say, it might be the board i`m talking about related, today the graphics are not effecting navigation. I`ll keep watch and see what developes. Thanks for the help.

It could be a lot of things. I had that happen twice. Once it was my video card. Had to set my graphics accleration lower to basic functions. The second time it happened is when I installed the worst piece of software ever invented-- Mcafee Virus Scan 7. Had to reformat after that one.

Are you running AV software by any chance?

Balzac, thanks, i tried changing the graphics accleration but that didn`t help. I`m running AVG anti virus.

Never tried AVG........you can try disabling it and see if it helps.

I like AVG, it`s a nice free anti virus program.
