As it moves, it is vibrating at times.

When you say it vibrates at times, you mean that the blink rate is studdered or so?
At work I have a PIII 550 w/327 Mbs of RAM and it buggs me like you wouldn't
believe. Almost everytime that I am replying I loose my cursor because of the
resource drain from all the animated smilies, the big Ad in the upper right
corner of the page, etc. Even at home now with my P4 2.8 dual channel 1
Gig DDR RAM even takes a hit by the new MS Speed ad and the Sprint ads.
It blinks sometimes and sometimes not - dont know where it is so I have to
click in the reply box to refresh the cursor position.
I think the new version of the Forum software is more resource intensive, but
its worth it.
:(
I've lost my cursor, a few times, but that is 'cause of the touch pad. I really don't like it, but am too lazy to carry around my trackball (which I really like, I have two of them). Back to the problem. It's not happening now, so I think that it may have something to do with the forum, as opposed to my machine. I have a P4 with 512M of ram. It may be loaded down, though.
This morning, though, the cursor seemed possessed!
I have that, but I've noticed it in the old forum as well. And it started after I had the Japanese keyboard IME installed on this machine. You have any language packs or keyboards installed/
it was doing it earlier tonight, and it still is. cursor blinks about 4 times for each key press, when I'm typing fast. it kind of shimmers...
Dude, language packs? Keyboards? IME? Unicode?
Or are we just stoned? :afrog:Quote:

mendhak, how do those make an impact on this? I dont have allot of
knowledge on those.
Ps: mendhak, have you been smoking that pink candy cane again. :p
M$ Live Communication Server 2005, but it isn't happening all of the time. Last post it was, this post it wasn't. Kind of odd.

I think that since entering Unicode characters is allowed, the cursor is somehow changed. Sometimes, you may even see the cursor with a small, teeny-tiny little triangular flag on the top of the cursor.
And I see this only on machines which have Unicode-related input possible.
