new laptop, new problems... (second update)

second update:

Ok, now this is just... I'm seriously about to rage-quit big time; smashing the effin' laptop against the wall and-... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
You've probably guessed it already: the lag is back.. it appears I didn't fix it after all.
So the fix-my-photoshop-problem-and-get-a-free-commission thing is still on.

*sigh*

Ok, so I've searched everywhere for a "cure" to my little though at the same time huge computer problem.. And I've just about given up now.. So I'm trying one, hopefully last thing, which I tried on my other account as well, and got help but none of the advices worked: I'm asking my DeviantART watchers and visitors to help me fix my computer..


OK! so here's the problem.

my mouse lags in photoshop.

I have a brand new Packard Bell Easy Note TJ71, which has Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), AMD graphic card driver thingies, McAfee anti virus program thingy, and plenty of RAM and memory.
Despite all that, I can't draw in photoshop, neither CS3 nor CS4! And I NEEEED Photoshop! to draw digitally that is.
It's got nothing to do with my Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, 'cos I've checked that, and the problem is the same when I use the touchpad. I can draw in other software like MS Paint; Photoshop is the only "place" where the problem occurs. I've tried SO MANY different things to try and fix the problem I don't remember 'em all, and nothing seems to work, and it appears Google has run out of solutions.

I'm so desperate to get this problem fixed I'm offering a free commission to who-ever can fix it! D:


please let me know if you need more info or specs or anything like that.

And thanks in advance to everyone who offers help










UPDATE!!


Ok, so I'm not sure what I did, but for the last 15 minutes, Photoshop has worked flawlessly..!!
Last thing I did, was rolling back the mouse driver to a previous one, use CS3 instead of CS4 and run it as administrator, then running it in compabilitymode (or whatever it's called) "Windows Vista (service pack 1)", then updating my tablet drivers - again - and reinstalling it TWICE, then restarting the computer twice as well. And now photoshop works..! o.o
Seemingly, nothing else worked, but on second thoughts, maybe it was all the things I tried, together, that finally made it work? idk...

Hopefully Photoshop will continue working.. And a HUUUUGE THANKS to EVERYONE who helped me!!
