[ct-user] Mouse Lag Win XP

[HENRY PFIZENMAYER]

Still fighting mouse becoming un-usable after opening CTWIN .. After
installation , I can get to the start window where you put in a contest name
and all is ok , but as soon as I hit enter , the program screen appears and
the mouse is un-usable (lag is about a second between mouse movement and
movement of cursor on screen) I have done the turn off quick edit mode and
insert mode and modified the shortcut ... but all with no effect.

What I find is that as soon as the program goes beyond reading the file name
, the CPU usage goes to between 75 and 99 percent and stays there no matter
what you do . Even if you close CTWIN the CPU usage stays at the high levels
... Only way to recover is to reboot from scratch.

Just for grins I tried the emulation mode  that Win XP "features" but no
help there either.

So it would appear that the CPU usage is the cause of the mouse lag ... but
what is causinhg the high CPU usage is beyond me ...

Any computer gurus have any ideas?

System is Dell Dimension 4500 2.26 g P4 / 1 G Ram / Win XP home ... Runs
stuff like Photoshop7 and so forth fine.
