So my wife and i recently went from my old 700mhz p3 laptop to a new 3 ghz p4 machine… I installed adobe photoshop and tried to crop a photo and i seem to have NO control over the mouse, i cannot make a straight line to save my life. I can use the mouse in regular apps, it seems fine, and then i attempt to crop around an object etc and the lines are very crooked… i can still use my laptop just the same as before, so this must be a machine setting, or is it?

This might be due to the new machine being in a different location than the last one, but i doubt it… i have tried the mouse in all sorts of different places. I tried my old mouse on the new machine but no luck. I have also tried to adjust my mouse sensitivity settings, but still nothing.

anyone familiar with this? no point in using this nice fast new machine if i cant even use photoshop.

thanks for any input.

Have you tried slowing the mouse down? Start/Control
Panel/Mouse/Pointer Options

It does not seem likely as you mention that the mouse is OK in regular apps (whatever they are) but does the mouse driver need reinstalling or updating??
