I recently got a new computer, loaded Morrowind with Tribunal (ver # 1.3.1029) on it. I'm experiencing "stickyness" in the mouse (horizontal movement starts and stops tracking in a jerky fashion) and it also frequently ignores keystrokes, EG hit F or R several times before it responds. It mostly does this indoors, makes for a big problem in combat since it can take over a minute of repeated banging on the keys to switch from weapon to spell and back. I have tried changing resolutions, switching sound from hardware to software, and the Direct 3D troubleshooter that disables cursor acceleration. Again, this also affects the keyboard, not just the mouse.

Current specs:

Gateway something (Ec-6000, I think)
Motherboard: Intel D850EMV2
CPU: Pentium 4 2.66ghz
Video: ATI Radeon 9700 PRO, 128mb (driver 6.13.10.6166)
Memory: 1024mb 533mhz RIMM
Sound: SB Audigy
OS: Windows XP home (5.1, build 2600) SP 1, DX 9

My previous computer:

Motherboard: ASUS A7A-266
Processor: AMD Palomino XP1600+
Memory: 768MB PC-2100 DDR RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti-4400 128MB AGP (detonator 40.72)
Sound: Creative SB 512 PCI
OS: Windows 98 Second Edition, build 2222, DX 9

Did not have this problem, ran Morrowind smooth as silk.
