Youtube slows down if mouse cursor is moved and other problem with new laptop

Hi all,

Just a post to let you know a couple problems i have with my new laptop. If I am on youtube or any other site streaming a video and happen to move the mouse cursor the video jitters and slows down. Anyonelse had this problem?

The second problem involves the mouse pad, basically when i am scrolling down a page or across it, it sometimes finds it upon itself to go back a page.

I actually had my laptop replaced abecause of these problems but the new one is the same, can't be a coincidence, sure these must be common problems.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Dan.

I can't help with the jittery YouTube, but I also have noted the tendency to go back a page when scrolling. I don't think this is a fault. The Vaio touchpad has a scroll zone down the right hand side for scrolling up and down the page. It also has a scroll zone across the top edge, for scrolling sideways. If the page on display does not have any lateral movement, any movement in the top scroll zone is interpreted as a "Page Back" or "Page Forward" instruction.

To avoid this happening, just make sure that your finger is in the centre of the touch pad.

I hope this helps answer part of your enquiry.
