Your mouse is most likely dirty.  some dust got inside and that is why it acting up.  Just open it up and use a Q- tip with rubbing alchol on it and clean it.  It should work perfect again.

This question or one of the others you asked? It is possible no one knows the answers to the other questions you asked about your mouse locking up etc.

im not sure..\nbut it's happened to me before.\nthe freezing of the mouse may be due to adware/spyware so you might want to scan your system to rid of them.\nor.\nthe motherboard could be old/ and may be on its way to ruin.

Typically it is what thay call a software conflict, two or more activities are competing and this may freeze your screen. check your notification area in the lower right corner of your task bar and see what programs are there, some could be running in the background possibly causing the problem.

When I had a virus my screen kept freezing up (use anti spy-ware) to clean it up. I have also been told not to you explorer when opening up, but to use Mozilla Firefox instead. Best of Luck, Hope this works for you.

Although if you install XP you may still get the same problem, as I do on a regular basis.  Wait for Vista :)

Yes, if it's an optical mouse, this is a fairly common occurrence (depending on what kind of surface the mouse is on). Sometimes the camera gets stuck in a sort of loop that makes the mouse think it's still moving when it's not. This happens to me sometimes. If it really bothers you, try getting a mousepad designed for optical mice.

That was happening to me.  Try using Firefox instead.  It's better anyway although (lol) I'm on my new computer using IE.  :)

Driver issues maybe? What do you need to press 4 or more keys at once for anyways? That may be why ;)

If you are using a ball mouse, you may try cleaning the ball upside down.\n\nIf you are using an optical mouse, try changing the mouse settings in the control panel.

Maybe looking at a sample mouse filter or mouse device driver in the Win32 DDK would help.

Check these: \n\nIf you are using trackball or Mouse (with rubber or metal ball) - clean the ball and the rollers that comes in contact with the ball.\n\nIf you are using an optical mouse, make sure you don't use red mouse pads. Although mouse pads with design are okay, using an all-black pad is the best.\n\nIf you are using a wireless mouse, check the batteries.\n\nIf all the above is okay and your mouse still freezes, check if you have the appropriate driver installed for your mouse. Try to isolate the problem. Use the mouse on another computer, if it works it might be a driver problem if it does not work on other computer, then it it the mouse itself. Replace it with a new one.\n\nNote: There are mouse models that are not compatible with Windows. Make sure that the mouse or any peripheral for that matter has a "windows xp compatible" note before buying.

We need a bit more information to really be of assistance here. What are you doing when it freezes, how many add-ons do you have, how many toolbars is installed, how often is it freezing, what else do you have open when it freezes, how many tabs are open when it freezes, what type of system do you have, how much memory-RAM do you have, what processor is installed, the video card, has the freezing occurred from the beginning or did it start at a later date, what sort of active X controls do you have, etc. \n\nWithout some of the above information it became very difficult if not impossible to help out. I can tell you that the box to send an error report is for you to decide if you want to send off the error report and the information in contains regarding the freezing episode to Microsoft, who will then compile the information, and come up with a response, or a fix to offer those like you who are having such problems. It is possible there may already be such a fix, if you click to send the report a link will be provided which may contain information on what to do to fix this, and other types of information to attempt to isolate the problem yourself and then fix it. This error report sends some of the above information to the Microsoft Labs, such as processor, and other computer configuration details. \n\nI can also tell you that you can remove IE7 and have IE6 placed back onto your system. Use the Add/Remove applet in Control Panel to remove IE7, when you reboot IE6 will be back installed on your system. At least that was how it worked before the mass downloading of IE7 via the Automatic Updates and I wouldn't think the behavior had changed, as some people just don't want to switch to IE7 yet, and there are those who have problems, like you are, who want to get rid of IE7 and have IE6 back. Why don't you go ahead and remove IE7, reboot and IE6 should be back. If it isn't just redownload and install IE7 again. Heck, just go ahead and go it anyway, as a new instance of IE7 may fix your problem as it may be a bad or currupt file in your version which is causing it to freeze up. I have been using IE7 for a month now and I like it a lot more than IE6. It only took me one day to get use to and come to love all the new features and security. \n\nGood luck and I hope you get this fixed really soon. Write more details so somebody else can offer a bit more help than I was able to. Have a great day!

Do not whack it on the side, it is not a mechanical problem. This issue could be attributed to lack of RAM, how may RAM do you have? to check:\n\nRight click My Computer icon on Desktop> Properties> General Tab\n\nUsually laptops have 256 or 512 MB of RAM, sometimes when we have applications running, we run out of memory causing the system to freeze. If your system freezes, just wait till it is able to execute all the task you have ask it to do (one by one, slowly) let the computer take its time...\n\nOR better yet...upgrade your RAM....if you have 2 slots (normally), purchase 1GB of RAM...and you would not worry anymore, your computer will not get some spanking from you..
