Mouse hangs unexplainable?

[Mindbreeze]

Hey all,

I recently purchased a northwood 1.6a with an Asus P4S333 mobo, ever since installing windows every so often when I launch IE my mouse will hang for like a second. Not all the time either, maybe once or twice in ten tries.
Anyone have any ideas on how I could diagnose this? Or what it might be?

Thanks much.

how long does it usually hang? waht type is it? is it usb or ps2? optical or ball? which os?

It hangs for like a second, but it is noticable. Not really a big deal, just kind of annoying. I hope it is not a memory problem. It is a logitech ball/wheel mouse. It hangs in both xp and win 2000.

Thanks

try using the usb port to connect the mouse.

Plugging into the usb port rather then the ps2 port does not make a difference. It's wierd, and I have no idea on how to diagnose it. Like I said, its not a huge problem, but really annoying.

Thanks again.

Sorry I don't have an answer I have a me too and wanted to bump the thread. I am running a 566 celeron at 850 and when I sometimes start something the mouse freezes for a second. It seems to do it more often on file sharing software but will also do it opening IE etc. I opened the task manager and it seems to correlate with the CPU working at 100%. I don't understand why it hangs this system (win2K) other systems I have worked on do not behave this way. Like you said it is just annoying really. Thanks in advance if someone can help out.
