MOUSE KEEPS FREEZING

[nisgore]

Hello all,
I've noticed in recent months that my mouse keeps freezing
intermitantly without seeming reason or trigger. The only way to get it
to work again is to restart the computer. Sometimes it freezes
immediately just after start up, other times it freezes hours or days
later. It is not associated with any particular program usage either.
I've been scouring the groups looking for answers and just seem to
notice that there are lots of other people having the same problem.
Does anyone know if this is a virus and if it is, how to remove it???
or at least what process it runs under so I can kill it?! .... or
perhaps how to restart the mouse driver and possibly reset it that
way??.... seems to me as if it is an improperly programed spyware virus
that causes driver conflicts.... send me your thoughts and how to test
it please...
Thanks,
Mike

Make sure you do not have a microphone enabled.

Download and install the latest drivers for your video card and mouse.
If the problem is not corrected, then:

Replace your mouse with a new one. If that does not solve the problem,
replace your video card with a new one.
