Mouse weirdness

[Guest]

Lately My mouse acts weird. What happens is the pointer freezes but I can
still move around select things but I can't see what I am pointing at.
Needless to say I would much rather my pointer and mouse controls to stay
together. Any help would be appreciated

Update the mouse driver from the manufacturer's website.Does that help?

If it makes you feel better, I'm having the same exact problem, though it
only started happening after a really bad hard drive crash which destroyed
56meg off my C: drive (the diskscan noted the loss but couldn't recover it).

Doesn't matter what mouse I'm using.

Also, I'm running two monitors and it happens one monitor at a time! I
really wish I could figure out how to fix this. I've tried reinstalling
mouse drivers, disabling/enabling devices, nothing helps.

I really think there's a conflict with hard drive access causing it.

Try reducing video card hardware acceleration for "mouse issues" like
that. (Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot) Also
replace/update video card drivers from the manufacturers web site.

Also, is your cursor you're using animated? Sometimes I've had problems
with animated cursors suddenly disappearing with some computers. If you're
using an animated cursor, try using one that's not and see if that solves
your problem.

Try cleaning the mouse. Not just the ball, but the rollers. They get
hard cruft on them that make the cursor freeze and then jump. It takes
a pen knife to scrape off the cruft.
