many times that is caused by some program using 100% of the CPU cycles, when it is finished, the mouse works again. if you have task manager open, watch to see which process is taking all the CPU when the mouse 'FREEZES' <trigonometry1972@gmail.com> wrote in message news:4d297325-31bb-4acd-815a-467fac0337e9@w24g2000prd.googlegroups.com... > The OS says the mouse is OK. |

For the wireless mouse, it was the batteries. (Proof of brain rot or mad cow that this didn't dawn on me.) Also, apparently I need to turn off mouse to extend battery life when not using the computer. AND the other mouse with wire if hooked to the computer only works during start up and it still stops. This wasn't always true. So perhaps I am not ready for old folks home just yet. As I only need one mouse, I'll be OK. And this computer has been checked from stem to stern for viruses and malware and it is clean. I have quite alot of open source freeware from Source Forge on the machine so they must be doing a decent checking their software. Again Thanks |
