Freezing mouse pointer
For some reason today, my Samsung Optical Wheel Mouse started to freeze as it passed over parts of the page where there was a button or the text became highlighted. The problem exists whether I am in IE, Word, Outlook or any other programme. The pointer sticks for anything from 10 seconds to when I reboot the computer. I am running XP Profesional and I have tried restoring the computer to last week, run Norton Virus Check, Spybot and re-installed the mouse software. I can use the keyboard to scroll the pages so the computer is not hanging although this is the appearance. The cursor takes a long break when it is moved over a button yes/no/cancel.
Most annoying.
Any clues please?
