Or it might not be the mouse at all. Lots of end users will think there
is something wrong with their mouse when it is really Windows having
locked up. Unfortunately, Jenka has been Enigmatic and unless s/he
comes back with more details, we'll never know.

It doesn't sound like a mouse issue, it sounds like the computer is locking
up. take a look in the Event Viewer and see if there are any issues at the
time that your lockups are occurring.

If not, it may be a hardware problem, like something overheating, for
instance, so that the computer locks before anything can be written to the
log.

It could also be software related, but without a few more clues, there is
little advice that can be given.

I had two problems.

I was getting blue screen warning messages

And I was getting a frozen mouse

I tried several remedies from Dell support, nothing corrected it.

I removed Netscape and it has never done it since.
