  1. What joystick do you use, and profiler?

    MS FFB2, no profiler.

    ...

    keep an eye on TS it could be it, or a conflict with it and other sound programs/drivers.

    Ok will do.

    I am assuming you reboot everyday, and keep de-fragged weekly correct?

    The PC is only on when I use it in the evenings.

    I hadn't defragged for a while, so I did this yesterday along will more windows updates.

    It was fine last night after all this. But then it was intermittent anyway, I'll see how it goes!

    Thanks for your help mate

  2. Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it.

    I had a strange occurrence last night during my D/F with Zooly, which may or may not be related...

    After we passed each other in combat, I suddenly lost all sound (inc TS) and my frames dropped from a steady 35 down to about 3. Trying to manually quit IL2 took some time as the mouse was yet again lagging all over the place.

    Once back to desktop, I checked and my CPU was flat out, so i closed TeamSpeak (audio still gone at this point) and after that everything went back to normal.

    Really frickin weird! Never had that happen before either.

    It was then fine all night for co-ops... :huh:

  3. Batteries?

    Then Video drivers?

    Replaced the batteries after a low bat warning message about 3 days ago.

    Funny thing is last night, I got another warning... weird.

    Video drivers up to date, i think. never can be too sure with ATI!

    I have had a similar problem and all it took was pressing the "Reset" button found at the bottom of the mouse!! If that does not work, then I agree with TOAD!

    Hope you get it fixed!

    Hmmm, not tried reconnecting the mouse, it's been 'bound' since day one and not had to reset it before. Will try it though.

    Strangely TOAD, after playing IL2 with you Swep and a few of the others last night, I relaunched Firefox and the lag had disappeared.

    I have that sometimes, it comes and goes. Argh!

  4. ~S!~ Fellow aeroplane admiring chums!

    A few of us Dogz are interested in going to the Autumn show at Duxford on 16th October, which this year commemorates the Korean war.

    For those of you that haven't been before, it's the last chance to get a warbird fix before they're all tucked up for the winter and the Autumnal light adds a different dimension for those photographers amongst us.

    Of course the weather can be cold/wet etc but we'd have to judge that the day before like any other show of the year.

    Fenrir and I have attended some cracking Autumn shows in the past and the line-up this year looks rather tasty too (see below).

    I believe this will be Mitch Beulen's last display as award winning F-16 demo pilot, one of the best solo fighter displays i've seen.

    Also, hmmm Sea Furies, Meteor and Sabre!

  5. Hi guys, wonder if you can help me out here?

    For the past week or so, i've been noticing that my mouse and sometimes keyboard have become very laggy when running certain programs,

    notably in Firefox and Steam.

    The mouse pointer looks and feels like it's in mollases whilst the page is loading, or a youtube video is playing for example.

    It's really starting to get on ones tits and I think it's also affecting IL2, because i'm getting stuttering more often than not now.

    My mouse and keyboard are MS wireless.

    And I'm running Windows 7 (fully updated), on 3Gb RAM.

    MSE scans show no evidence of malware.

    Any ideas mates?

  6. Just glad to hear you're all OK mates!

    Terrible shame for the families who have lost loved ones as you say, but bloody hell it could have been so much worse.

    Look forward to flying with you soon chum.
