I am not sure I understand what you mean about jumpy cursor and key. I should not have video processing delay. I went on and bought 2 gb gaming video card (AMD Radeon 7850), which gamers felt almost offended that I buy it for audio software, saying- I do not need it. Closing and re-opening Sonar did not fix it. I will try another project, but so far it is jumpy.

You did the right thing. They don't have a clue about DAWs. 

Powerful graphics display cards are not just for games. They are used for all sorts of things. Video editing and graphics editing not to mention rendering of scientific data. Cuda enabled cards are also used by many programs to help speed up processing.  

Gamers live in there own world.  Bless them for with their help we have all benefited.  

OP,
.
The pause key makes it jumpy to free up processing power by doing less video processing. It's from the software. Just hit the pause key again, or close and re-open sonar if you forget that it's the pause key that can cause it and you accidentally bump it.

To remove the Clip property window, click the tab at the top of the track inspector. The currently selected option is colored in blue in X2. Click the blue one to return to the standard track inspector with meters for currently selected track and destination bus or output channel.

Yeah, ok, meters are there now, thanks. But that table needs to go. How do I close it?

See post 9.

Ok, thanks- the table is gone. Now- what is "Pause" key? I remember conversation back in the day- someone said something about it, and I was upset, thinking I should not use the Pause button, but it was some key command. I do not do hot keys- I am a mouse person. (It is a female thing, I was told). What is Pause key? Thank you.

The pause key makes that weird skippy video behavior your complained about. hit play and hit the pause key. Then hit pause again to turn it off.

To be very clear we are not talking about the pause button on the X2 transport we are talking about the pause key on a computer keyboard.  Some keyboards don't have a dedicated pause key. But it is there with a keyboard FN key combination. 

You may need to check your keyboard documentation to find the right keys to press. 

I found the Play, Pause and FW/BW and they actually work. For a second I thought, when I pressed the Pause key and then Play, it helped it, but then I wanted to see if I can use those buttons, and now it still jumping. I am not sure if it helped it or not first time, but it not helping any more. This jumping reminds me when Sonar was unstable on my old computer. I just invested a lot in to it being stable, so it has to be stable- no more excuses. There is no old drivers, no incompatible hardware- quad core processor, 16 Gb memory- what else does it want from me??? :)

Jumpy cursor meaning now time cursor and meters only updating every second or so? If that's what your talking about it's by design to reduce CPU load and can be toggled on/off using the pause key on your keyboard usually located in the upper right corner. As mentioned by other posters. Not the pause in sonar but on your actual keyboard. You know the one you use to type on the computer.

WDI I hope you don't mind me using your picture. I thought It might show up for me if I posted your link. 

Thanks John! Posting from iPod was giving me trouble with image link.
