Okay, so this all started when I got a virus and reformatted my computer. After reinstalling windows xp sp2 and getting everything up to date and drivers installed (driver order was via hyperions, graphics, sound). I have the latest everything except for bios version. official nvidia drivers off their site and all. Problem being is this. my system seems to lag more than it ever did, and whenever I go to run a program or install something my mouse will totally lag and freeze up. The icon will freeze up, but the mouse will still move, get it? The only thing I installed was world of warcraft and my mouse(icon) totally froze and I had to restart to get it back. My guess would be the graphic drivers and I'm going to try and replace them tomorrow. I don't think it's the bios or even the mobo chipset drivers. My system was running flawlessly before the virus and reformat. I doubt any existance of the virus is still here as I ran nod32 numerous times. I'm at a loss and any help is greatly appreciated.

I dont know if you did this already, but did you reinstall your mouse drivers? Ive had some problems with games when I didnt install them
 
yes, I did. latest from logitech, it's the mx510. I thinking it's either the chipset drivers or the graphics drivers. Problem is I don't remember what chipset drivers I was using before the first format.
 
seems to have been the via chipset drivers. I reverted to the previous version of hyperions and so far so good. I reinstalled world of warcraft and no mouse freezing or lagging really. So for whatever reason the new drivers don't like some piece of hardware I have.
