Scope 4.0
OS XP Pro SP1
I finally got rid of my Sound Blaster Live and replaced it with a Luna II, which I installed along with Scope 4.0. I have Cubase Sx v2.2 installed. After SX is opened, my cursor slows down to a crawl ONLY within SX and not any other programs that may be opened. Only the cursor is slow, everthing else works fine within SX. I would appreciate very much if one of you wizards could please give me your opinion as to why this is occuring. SX worked fine with the Sound Blaster and Scope 3.5, so I can only guess this is an issue due to either the LUNA II or/and version 4 of Scope on my system. Is processor speed perhaps an issue as well ? Muchas gracias for any replies !!!
Slooooow cursor with SX+Luna II
processor speed may be an issue...i used this motherboard for quite a long time. it's not the best as far as pci bandwidth goes, but it was stable.
have you disabled all the xp "eye candy"? you need to make the windows look like 98's do and disable all that sliding and shadowing. that should help a lot.
bad vst plugins(cracks and the like, don't use them!) will cause havoc as well.......

I have XP highly optimized without all the M$ pre-installed crap and did a clean install of Cubase without any plug-ins except the defaults that come with SX. As I mentioned, I had no problem with SX (loaded with plug-ins)+ Sound Blaster and W2K on the same MOBO. I am starting to think that XP bloatware is streching my limited resources to the MAX combined with the demands of SCOPE 4. Also have Photoshop CS installed which is very resource hungry, but I don't have the cursor slow down as I do with SX.
Thinking that Scope 4 may be an issue, I tried to update the Creamware DSP board driver with v3.1a. Saw on this board that this solved some freezing problems in certain cases. although the problems mentioned differed from my case, I gave it a try. I tried this closing down but not uninstalling Scope. XP failed to update, giving me the "could not find a better match than the current driver" message. The v3.1a driver I found was for W2K not XP, don't know if this should really matter ¿?

I have a slower machine than you do (p3-933, geforce2 gts, 512mb ram) and I have no slowness problem with SFP 4, so it's probably not CPU speed related. VIA chipsets are notorious for bad PCI performance, but that shouldn't slow down your mouse cursor.
One thing you could try, is in the SFP settings pages, you can switch between Classic and Standard screen mode, and there's also a Standard Cursor option you can tick/untick. Try playing with that, see if it affects the problem.

Muchas gracias amigos for all the NFO. Symbiote, your tip seemed to me to be the solution, and did marginally improve the problem. Decided to review the settings for my cordeless Logitech trackball mouse and saw that the option to disable acceleration in games was selected. Un-selecting that option solved the problem and I now have my speedy cursor back. ... Duh !!!
