406706 2005-11-22 23:12:00 What would cause my mouse to freeze up after a short time. I have run virus scans using AVG and the better NOD32. (NOD32 is awesome by the way). My computor is still functioning after my mouse freezes. Can someone please help? :help: qwerty (8480)
406707 2005-11-23 08:02:00 Have you tried using another mouse on your computer? What type / brand / model of mouse are you using? If it is a Microsoft product, no wonder. :D

Cheers :)

pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

Without replying to threads and just starting new ones, its not going to be easy to solve....

When you reply to a thread it pops back up to the top of the list. Try it and see.

406710 2005-11-26 10:51:00 There's many things that could be the problem, but it would help with more information on what type of mouse it is, the interface it connects to the computer by before being able to pinpoint the cause of it.

Things I can think of:

The port is playing up, have you tried unplugging it and replugging it back in. Also could be a sign of the port beginning to fail. PS/2 ports usually do die, it's worse when it's the keyboard but using a USB keyboard should overcome a POST error/stop.

It's conflicting, usually the case with serial mouses, but it could be conflicting with other hardware.

Incorrect drivers, I feel in this case generic drivers are better to use than the actual drivers, unless the mouse has something special that no other mouse has.

There's probably a lot more that could cause this but we'd need more information.


Cheers,

Try another PSU. I have had dozens of cases like yours and trying anohter PSU normally solves the problem. Sometimes the USN ports will also play up at the same time.
