3643 1999-12-17 08:57:00 My brother just bought a system from christchurch - and he lives in Dunedin...
(silly huh)
Anyway it cost him about $2000 all up and the specs are pretty good - if you need them for this problem i'll get them for you.

Anyway he's running windows 98.
Every so often he'll have a mouse freeze.
(it happens in all sorts of different apps).
When this happens - it's a good freeze - can't access keyboard - sp the three key salute doesn't work either.
The only way out is to use the re-set button.
Anoying really.
This has happend from the day he got the system (yesterday).
He rang their repair / problem number and they are mystified - their only response is to send it back - BUT if he did that - he wouldn't have his system back before xmas.

Now if I remember right - other people have also experienced this same / almost the same problem.

I think the answer was 're-install graphics card driver' or 'Pull back the accelerator a little'.

Are these sugestions helpful or not ???

(He lives a little ways from me as well so it's not easy checking stuff at the moment).
What I need to know - before I see him -is - what if anything I can look at...
Also there are no conflics with his system IRQ's (or anything else that I can see) ???

Please help
