Mouse Pointer Is Jerky and Multimedia Sound Stutters |
Q134534
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
After a computer terminates a Direct Cable Connection connection using a parallel cable, the mouse pointer does not move smoothly and multimedia sound "stutters" for about 30 seconds.
CAUSE
The parallel driver (Paralink.vxd) may not sense that the other system has dropped the connection. During the first 30 seconds, it tries periodically to detect whether the other system is still active. Each time it tries to detect the other system, the parallel driver turns off the interrupt that prevents other hardware interrupts from being serviced.
RESOLUTION
Wait approximately 30 seconds. The parallel driver will realize the connection has been terminated and the system will operate normally.
