Optical Mouse Freezes Under XP SP2

[Tom]

I am having a problem with my mouse freezing for 10-20 seconds; there is a
"clang sound" that comes through my speakers and the system returns to
normal. I am running Windows XP with SP2 on an HP pavilion 7965 with 512
mb.



When this happens, I can still stroll through a document, spreadsheet, etc
by using the up/down arrow keys; therefore, the system is not frozen. Also,
I have hit the ctl,alt,del key to see if anything funnies running at time.
Everything looks normal. It usually happens (but not always) when Outlook
Express or Internet Explorer is open.



I was having this problem before I installed sp2.



Using Norton System works 2002 that has been kept up to date via internet
subscription.



Would appreciate any help.



Thanks in advance,



Tom D.

If it is wireless, then could the batteries be running down?
