Hi cero2,
Please let me know when you recieve a reply from the Malware Department. I'm sure they didn't skip you on purpose, it's just that every once in a while some one slips through the gaps. Thanks for your patience.

Please restart your computer into Safe Mode with Networking, connect to the Internet manually, and then try to browse the Internet; is your Internet connection speed still dependant on your mouse movement?

Weird, when I boot into Safe Mode with Networking, I can't get an IP address..

If your ISP uses a PPPoE account (ie: you need to login with a username/password), then you need to launch that manually; it won't be able to connect automatically as it does in Normal Mode. Also, are you sure you're in Safe Mode with Networking, and not just Safe Mode? What happens when you try to renew your IP?

Yes, I tried twice, and made sure the second time that I was in Safe Mode with Networking. And no, I do not have to enter any password to access the internet. I tried this with and without my router. I'll have to check again to see what it says word for word, but it would just timeout, and say it could not get an ip address, so another was assigned with the prefix 172.

Hi cero2,
This is a suggestion from SpaceCowboy:

Yoiu might want to have him check IRQ sharing for his network card and his mouse. If they are sharing the same IRQ that MIGHT cause this problem, never heard of it though. Just an area to check

Please goto Start --> Run --> type msinfo32 and press OK. Expand Hardware Resources and then click on IRQs once, so that it is highlighted. Now click on File, and then select Export.... Save it to an easy-to-reach location, as IRQs.txt. Navigate to that file, open it and copy/paste the information from within into your next reply.

Thanks,
Dan.

Hi cero2,
Sorry for the slow response, I've been a little busy lately. Well, it does look like both of your devices are using the same IRQ channel, so this could very well be the problem. However, the bad thing is that you're using Windows XP, which generally doesn't allow you to manually change the channels. Please right-click on My Computer --> select Manage --> click on Device Manager --> Expand Network Adapters --> Right-click on your Network Adapter and select Properties --> Click on the Resources tab --> Is the option Use automatic settings greyed out?

If so, do you have a spare slot in which you can plug your Network Adapter into? Alternately, you may be able to change your IRQ channel in BIOS (depending on your motherboard). Finally, try plugging a normal mouse in (if you can borrow one from a friend/family member), and see if the normal mouse interferes with your Internet connection, as does the USB mouse.
