I am running XP SP2 and have frequently have a freeze of the USB mouse (the
keyboard still works), or complete freeze of system requiring a hard reset.
This generally happens when surfing with IE. It is possible that this is
related to an IRQ sharing problem but I have not been able to find the
problem referenced in searches of the web or groups.
I have tried to change the IRQ for the wireless card by pulling and
reinstalling in a different slot - two different slots. the system keeps it
on IRQ 11, which is crowded with audio, video, USB, etc.
IRQ 11 Shared Atheros Wireless Network
Adapter #3
IRQ 11 Shared VIA AC'97 Audio Controller
(WDM)
IRQ 11 Shared VIA Rev 5 or later USB
Universal Host Controller
IRQ 11 Shared VIA Rev 5 or later USB
Universal Host Controller
IRQ 11 Shared Microsoft ACPI-Compliant
System
IRQ 11 Shared NVIDIA Vanta
The problem did not exist for about 9 months and started a couple of months
ago. It may have nothing to do with the IRQs.
Other programs running are AVG anti virus, Kerio firewall. I have taken
them off and have not fixed the problem. Windows firewall is off. I also
run an old version of CookieCop and NetPersec (to monitor network traffic)
and have never had trouble with them that I could identify.
Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks.
