Hello:
My mouse i s giving me a real problem. At times the mouse will "Freeze" and after a while it will move again. The problem seems to be getting worse each day.
It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing, on/off line..... inter explorer/foxfire.. Email or just playing solitaire.
Windows xp, fairly new hp lintel, 1gig memory....
Any help will be appreciated.
Jim

Hi Jim,

Anytime i've seen this happen before is because there is a program currently hogging your resources or you don't have enough resources for what your doing/running.

Try opening your task manager and sorting by cpu usage. Then use your computer like you normally would. When your mouse sticks, look at the task manager and see if a program is using a lot of cpu at that point.
