Board index » Windows Vista » Vista: Mouse Freezes for several seconds

Windows Vista7
I recently bought a new computer from DELL with Vista Home Premium.

However, quite often (usually once a minute) the mouse will freeze,

hang up or pause mid move. This freeze is about 1 to 5 seconds long.

The Task Manager shows a CPU spike but no processes show any activity

(perhaps a service is causing it but that tab doesnt show process

activity). This is quite annoying and has cause me to click on

incorrect buttons when it freezes.



Thank you,

In article <dccc8ec2-f244-4dc5-b79f-

f5f8225a1f1b@y5g2000hsf.googlegroups.com>, tstephan@gmail.com says...

What mouse did you get? The basic or one of the fancy ones? How is it

connected, and if using USB, what port (on the keyboard or directly to

the computer?)



Have you tried another mouse? Have you tried uninstalling the crappy

Dell mouse suite software and just using the stock Windows drivers?

Hi, I am not using the mouse that came with the PC. I have a standard

MS optical USB mouse and using those drivers. I didn't uninstall the

older drivers or install any new ones. When the PC came up it simply

detected the mouse and switched to it. I haven't tried a different

mouse yet. I'll add that to the list of things to try and post back

here. It looks like from the forums many people have had this issue

but all the proposed solutions did not work for me.



Thanks,

Hi there,



I have the same problem. Did a fresh install of Ultimate x64, the first

days installing went smooth, then suddenly the mouse pointer freezes for

about 5 to 10 seconds.

It started after soms updates from windows I think...

I did some googling around, found lots of info (lots of Dell pc's), non

of the trick did it for me.. :(.

But i don't have a dell so they aren't the problem. ;)



My system is as followed:

Asus A8N-SLI Premium MoBo.

AmD x64 3800+

3Gb Ram (2*512Mb + 2*1Gb)

Geforce 7800GT 256mb

System is installed on a RAID1



I really hope to find a sollution... :shock:

Same problem, try CTL/ALT/DEL Task Manager, when it freezes 100% CPU,

Processes TAB will show what's using the CPU 100%.
