I have a question about Troubleshooting Driver Problems:

Mouse cursor jumping around like crazy while burning (Nero 5576) or copying from cd to hd. (so far along, newly formatted, will probably see more of it) I know this is a common problem, but does anyone have a fix? or a cause? I have seen this since 98se except xp. My setup: AMD 2000+ msi 745 ultra (AC97) 256+256 DDR 333 PC2700 40 + 80GB Gforce4 420mx DVD + cd-rom Latest drivers codecs and sp3

Have you tried using the normal Windows 98 drivers since they worked?  If anything, 
it is just a bad driver.  Also, have you consulted your mouse manufacturer?

First, You got it wrong, i have had this problem on win 98se/ME first evaluation ver, another ver, and final ver/win2000. NOT on XP. I recently turned to 2000 because i had sooooo many goofy problems with XP. Especially after sp1!! I could try another mouse, good idea, but something tells me its not that easy... STILL LOOKING FOR SOLVATION!! If anyone knows the trick.

I am having the same problem when buring also. Actually anytime I access my CDR/RW drive my system sorta locks up momentarily and the mouse jumps around. I this it is in how the CD-R/RW drive is physically set up. I've tried changes drivers and adjusting software. I think its a hardware issue

I have a similar problem with my mouse except that it happens when my Hard Drive 
is working hard so another plea to anybody who knows the solution.  All was OK with 
my system (Athlon600, 512mb, 28gb, Win98SE) until I suferred a crash about 3 months 
ago and have had the problem ever since.

I also had this problem under Win95.  At that time I had a utilities suite that diagnosed 
that my system had defaulted to a very basic version of HD driver (something like 
a "get you out of trouble emergency driver").  It told me what to do to correct the 
problem and the problem disappeared.  I assume the HD driver was taking all the resources. 
 Unfortunately the utilities were OS specific so I dropped them when I switched to 
98 but now I cannot find them on the net.  I think they were called "Soft Sara" or 
something similar.  If anybody knows of them I would love to know.

Anyway, the point is check your CD/HD drivers!

Well, I suggest, your HDD or you CD-writer uses PIO-Mode. If so, the data is moved over the CPU and doesn't flow directly from device to device (like with Bus mastering). Check in your Device manager, if you're using PIO or DMA mode. PIO mode my cause the problem. If the system cannot find a valid Bus mastering driber for your chipsetm it will use PIO, because it's supported by every device and every Chipset.

A solution: I think I've solved the problem by copying all of C:\windows and c:\windows\system from a backup I made when first installing W 98 SE (under stand-alone DOS).

I found out to clean your mouse is important to stop the "jumping". Open it and clean the ball with a Q- tip and nailpolish remover. It works!!!
