If the reboot doesn't work, I would uninstall it and download a new one.  Might be a memory issue too.  Maybe clean up your system and defrag could help.\n\nZ.

Well sice PC's can't be smart nor stupid that's not the cause.\n\nTry cleaning and defragmenting your drive. Also heat build up can cause drives to act weird and eventually fail, keep all air ways clean and clear and if needed add another fan.\n\nAlso, you can run disk check.\n\nYour RAM may need to be upgraded, you didn't really say when it freezes up.\nA new program could be a culprit as well as spyware, I use Ad awre SE personal to take care of that junk, it can really bother things! And best of all it's free just need to download it from their site, made by lava soft. That stuff can get on there even with a good fire wall running.\n\nCheck for programs that are running all of the time, when you didn't open them, they just slow things anyways, most not needed!\n\nClean out your internet files and cahe even cookies, use controil panel for that.

Use O&O Defrag\n\nIt will run in the background and not bother you, the program defrags ur hard drive while ur computer is idle.

You probably have programs running in the background that are preventing it from working properly. For Windows, restart into Safe Mode and try running Disk Defragmenter there.

is it just the cursor that freezes or the whole computer \nie can you use your keyboard to use the computer \n\nif just the cursor then it is probably either your mouse is physically broken in some way ie loose wire in which case a new mouse is needed or your drivers are incorrectly installed\n\n\n\nif the whole computer freezes then you may have too many background programs running and taking up RAM the best way too fix this is too buy more ram or close programs using task manager \nyou could also have a virusif your whole computer is ceasing or maybe you just need  a defrag
