Mouse Freezes Intermittently
Dear Readers:
I have XP Pro SP2 and I am running an AGP 128MB Accelerated Graphics card. When I'm running certain software, my mouse freezes intermittently (and sometimes just in the Windows Desktop itself) and then resumes functionality. Sometimes it doesn't resume functionality, either because a particular program that I was using became unresponsive, or because of an underlying issue that I am seeking an answer about. Why do I have problems with the mouse device? The keyboard doesn't freeze. It might help to state that the mouse is a USB mouse, not PS/2. Thanks in advance, penciline -- -=- penciline -=- |

What software? What if you... Install SP3 and get the machine fully patched? Replace the battery in the mouse, if there is one? Check for and install updated drivers for the mouse? Use another mouse? penciline wrote: Dear Readers: I have XP Pro SP2 and I am running an AGP 128MB Accelerated Graphics card.

Well, I can't install SP3 because part of my system is incompatible
(software/hardware peripherals) and I don't know if those manufacturers will update to SP3. I can try a different mouse, although I am partial to this particular model. I will let you know what happens if I use a different mouse. Stay tuned. -- -=- penciline -=- "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: When I'm running certain software, my mouse freezes intermittently What software? What if you...

If SP3 isn't install by April 2010, your computer will not be offered any
more critical security updates. Later next year, you won't even be able to access Windows Update if SP3 isn't installed. Better get crackin' or consider buying a new computer, d00d. penciline wrote: Well, I can't install SP3 because part of my system is incompatible (software/hardware peripherals) and I don't know if those manufacturers will update to SP3.

Hello,
If your system has a PS/2 mouse port, use it instead of the USB port. Some mice are not compatible with PS/2 ports via adaptors, check the manufacturer's page for any pointers regarding this.
