I have an issue that has been addressed in this forum with various solutions suggested, none of which have solved my problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Problem:

The issue is intermittent, brief "freezes" of the mouse pointer, typically from a second to as long as 5 to 8 seconds. The computer does not respond to clicks or double clicks during these freezes. This occurs in Firefox, Word, Paint Shop XI or any other program.

The System:

New Shuttle barebones with AMD X2 5200, 2G 6400 Corsair, GForce 7600GT 256MB, 500G SATA Drive and Vista Business. All drivers are completely up to date. Ready Boost is not being used. Paging file is on a separate drive and set to proper amounts.

In monitoring of the processor load I found nothing unusual. Only error I show in the event viewer is IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 15, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance. Memory diagnostics showed nothing wrong.Rebooting has no effect.

From various post on the net I found that this may be caused by Trend Micro Internet Security 2007. Uninstalled it and still had the smae issue. Also read that it might have something to do with a domain. Uninstalled the network and went to a stand alone "workgroup".

Again, any help will be greatly appreciated. Never had an issue like this with XP. By the way, this is a clean install.

Thanks.

Check in Task Manager. Odds are your computer is at 100% and you have to wait. I had this frequently when I was running a 3500+. Problems solved with a 5200+.

Cordless mouse?

The mouse IS cordless, a MS Wireless Laser 6000 Desktop. Never had an issue with cordless on XP. Is there an issue with cordless input devices with Vista? Thanks for the reply.

Are you using Aero Mouse pointers? The latest Nvidia drivers have an issue with Aero Mouse pointers and will cause the intermittent mouse cursor issue. Change to another mouse pointer (I'm using Windows animated and that took care of the problem)
I'll just use this until the Nvidia driver is updated to switch back to the Aero Mouse pointer.

Thanks Dave. I was using Aero pointers until your post.
I think I can live without aero pointers, in return for sanity. Thanks again.

Hi, I had this with a dell and I was told to change the ports the sata drives were on i.e. instead of ports 2 & 3 I changed them to 3 & 5 and since then no freezes. Be sure to change this in the bios as well.

I have used a corded mouse and had zero problems. What is the solution for a MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. I've concluded that has to be the issue. Thanks.

I don't have a solution, but my Microsoft cordless mouse on my tablet (WinXP) has impaired function when anything else is really busy, especially during startup. This doesn't happen during scans by AVG but it will happen if OE is loading a really big folder or sometimes if I am downloading from a fast server. I can't find a model number on the mouse that my old eyes can read. I just live with it.

I just changed my mouse settings also. Lets see if that does it for me.
