| Need help - Trackball causes machine slowdown (sound etc) |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| cholin:
I dont think it has anything to do with your computer because for the most part trackballs are detected as mice. Are you using a hacked mouse board to connect to your computer? |
| hiperco:
I'm using a Happ PS/2 trackball. (Tried the USB option as well, which miraculously worked in DOS). The slowdown was even worse >:( |
| AmericanDemon:
did you remove the OLD trackball from the equation or is it still hooked up? |
| hiperco:
Old trackball is removed. I also tried a fresh setup (reset the .rc files) I think I will try the wife's Athlon 1700+ system to see how it plays. (It might be the motherboard...) |

But most times not. Be a little cautious of those cheap "no-name" boards. There's also the possibility that the control circuit in the TB is faulty and interrupting the host more often than it should, but that seems less likely. Good luck, RandyT |
