My computer has been randomly freezing up and my mouse wouldn't move. I
found it to be related to my Norton Internet Sercurity updating, it would
use 95-100% cpu time and lockup my Pc. After doing some digging I found it
was an issue so I uninstalled NIS and installed AVG.
Now here's my issue again.
While scanning (manual) my machine after installing AVG I found my mouse was
locked up and inop again, "kind of".
AVG was only running at approx. 60-80% when this was happening. The only way
to get my mouse pointer movement back was to reboot the Pc.
Here's what I've noticed on both occasions (both NIS and AVG);
While moving the mouse the 'pointer' doesn't move but windows recognises the
movement of the mouse. I can see icons hi-lite as I move the mouse and I can
stop on a 'hi-lited' icon and click the mouse. I just don't get any pointer
movement with my actions. Sometimes I can click the mouse and it works
sometimes not but windows does see mouse movement but the pointer either
doesn't move or it changes into a double sided arrow <-> either horizontal
or vertical.
This all seems to only take place with an 'anti-virus' program.
Compaq Presario-sr1820nx, AMD64-3400+ , 512mRam, WinXPsp2 all updates, w/o
IE7
Any suggestions?
