Alright. This is an unusual situation. I recently formatted my OS for Vista. Reinstalled CS3. And started getting some interesting things with my pointer (mouse AND tablet). It lags to put it simply. But only when I’m activating something (like a lasso or brush). But that’s not all. I’ve found a workaround kinda. If I zoom in and/or out, the pointer is fine and there’s absolutely no lag. But once I scroll to the side, typically (not all the time) there it goes again, forcing me to zoom. (Trust me when I say the frustration is unbearable after having to do that more than a handful of times.)
Some things to know… I have a pretty decent computer. 4GB RAM, duo core processor, and great video cards. No other game, art, or basic application suffers from this, including Painter 7. Yes, I’ve updated all drivers and programs on my machine. I’ve checked multiple scratch disks and bumped up the caching. I’ve deactivated all buttons and useless clicking for my pen and also deactivated mouse acceleration.
Nothing seems to work that I can find or think of. Again, it’s just the pointer lags when activated, and it "fixes" when I zoom, but breaks again when I scroll. Nothing else is wrong with the program except this.
Advice? Cause I’m baffled.
