[_JR_]

I am having a problem. When I do anything that uses my graphics card at all, my mouse (which is a USB mouse) starts having problems. It will disconnect and reconnect, especially if I lift the mouse to move it.

I ruled out the following:

1) The mouse itself. I plugged it into my laptop and it worked swimmingly.
2) The power settings. I unchecked the box for ALL items in the Device Manager that were USB-related for "turn off automatically to conserve power."

I also tried to change the IRQ settings in the device manager, but the option to manually set IRQ stuff is grayed out.

I tried to set it in the BIOS, but I couldn't find any options to change ANY IRQ settings in the BIOS.

So I'm officially out of ideas.

So here's some information from Device Manager (I do hope it helps):

Thanks! I am going a little nuts with this thing.
