Mouse jumps around in full screen

This is probably really simple to fix, but the mouse seems to jump around a bit in full screen.
The same thing happens to me. I don't know if it is for the same reason. This occurred for me in the older version, H3.6.3, too.
Because my computer is old and slow, I found that when running the game with larger scenarios or on higher time compression, the mouse would sometimes 'jitter', skip, or flicker across the screen. I am pretty certain that it was just due to my slow processor speed and low RAM.
The same thing might be happening to you if you run the game while the Accuracy/Speed slider is on High/Slow setting. You might try to run few applications in the background or move the slider to the left (Low/Fast) setting.
Another player with a super fast system (4400+ and 2gB of RAM) also found his system slowing down when he played the PlayersDB scenario Axis of Evil, the largest scenario ever built. With thousands of missiles and hundreds of planes flying, I can understand why. [;)]
