Mouse Pointer Is Jerky and Multimedia Sound Stutters (134534)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134534 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.
