The only parts in common between the old configuration and the new configuration is the Video card (Diamond Viper 770 TNT2 Ultra), the sound card (SB PCI512) and the CPU the Athlon 600. I have no reason to suspect any problems with any of the hardware, other than this mouse problem. Any ideas? Like I said, it worked just fine for me until about a week ago.
