Mouse speed very slow in selecting recorded audio and recording is jumpy on the screen - any idea why?

Try reducing the number of colors in the "Compatibility" settings for Audacity.
Does that make any improvement?

Hi Steve,

How do I do that please?

Please advise.

Thanks.

How do I do that please?

Now you're asking - I rarely use Windows and I've not done this in years. If I recall correctly, you right click on the "audacity.exe" file in the "Programs" (32-bit Windows) or "Program Files (x86)" (64-bit Windows) folder, then click on the "Compatibility" tab. The option should be in there.... I think

Done that Steve.

The mouse is still erratic and jumpy.

I'm out of ideas.

Thanks.

Both machines are identical as they have the same processor.

The only difference is that the first machine has an Nvidia GT610 video card.

There's not much difference between the GT610 and GT710, so I doubt that is the problem, though drivers can make a significant difference. Perhaps worth checking if one machine is using newer drivers than the other.

Thanks Steve.

Will do.

Drivers are up to date Steve on this affected machine.

Thanks.

and on the "good" machine?

[happy37]

All up to date too Steve.

Makes no sense to me.

Makes no sense to me.

Yes, very strange.

Same mouse for both machines?
