It's not a mouse problem as such, I think, but one of interaction with a touch surface, like the touchpad on your machine, interfering in some way with Muvizu (even if you're not using it). Short of completely disabling the touchpad, I don't see how you can get around the problem, unfortunately.]]> Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:11:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1204-mouse-cursor-jumps-off.aspx Message from Marco_D
Yeah, unfortunately this one is going to be very hard to solve.
I do believe it has something to do with the fact that you are using a Mac.

So far you are the only user with this problem. The vast majority of Muvizu users are PC users.

I'm not ready to give up just yet, I'll research on this and will let you know if I come up with something helpful.

Cheers,

No lag on the screen, if anything an object moves fast into oblivion.
Thanks for trying!

Hello, Marco
I did try using a reguar mouse and changing mouse parameters. It's the result... I don't think this is a mouse problem, because in all other applications it work perfectly. Something happens when I try to pick up an object (a table, a person, a wall, a camera, ect.) on the screen of Muvizu. It sends the object flying into far away place to the left of the screen. If I try to lift it (both mouse key pressed) then it fly up and left into the same remote locaton. Though, it does allow the rotation function by pressing the right mouse key.

Also, I forgot to mention that I have the iMac. With the Boot Camp I have partitioned the hard drive, and now I do work on PC Windows (Vista)

Hi Collins,

Indeed this is definitely one weird bug!
It might be related tot the fact that you are using Windows on a Mac. The reason I'm saying this is because you seem to be the only one with this problem.

I'll do a bit of research and see if I can find a solution for you. Although I have the feeling this is going to be a hard one to solve.

Also can you tell me what your frame rate is? Do you notice some sort of graphical lag at all?
The reason I ask is because boot camp might have an impact on your machine's performance.

Cheers,
Marco

- If you're using an optical mouse, consider the surface that it's on. This sort of behaviour can be caused by using the mouse on a somewhat reflective surface. Try a matte mousepad.

- Have you checked your pointer settings in Control Panel\mouse\pointer options?
Make sure snap-to is unchecked, and you may want to set the pointer motion to about half-way....on the slider bar.
1. go to control panel
2. click on mouse icon
3. Pointer options tab - automatic move pointer disabled.

- Mousepad - Some colours doesn't reflect the rays from the mouse. So if you move the mouse to the colour where it can reflect it the mouse pointer jumps to it.

- Don't place the mouse too near the receiver.

Hope this helps.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers,
M

Hey Collins,

Thanks for your reply.

If possible try to test it with a wired mouse - standard PS/2 connector or USB.
Also, can you check if there are up to date drivers for your mouse?

I'll keep investigating this issue to see if we can get to the bottom of it

Can you give us a bit more of informations about your operating system? Is it updated?
Which mouse are you using?

This is a very unusual behaviour!
We will do our bets to help you out

I have:
  • 2.8GHz processor
  • ATI 2600 graphics card
  • plenty free drive space
    • I've just installed Muvizu...a great program! If I can make it run... I cannot change relationship between objects. When I left-click on any object to move it, the mouse curser jumps to the left and the object starts moving to the rleft of the screen into the remotest position.
    Please, help!
