mouse pointer freezes

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Occasionally, the mouse pointer either disappears, and comes back a minute
later, or it goes to the top left corner, and stays there. Buttons still
work on the computer. Ctl/Alt/Del offers no help. Freezing in the upper
left has happened twice in the past few days-- no unusual activity going on
in computer, CPU showing 0-3% usage. The rest of the time it works fine.
It's a wired mouse, connected properly.
Thoughts?

The disks didn't come with this computer OEM already installed. Is there a
number to call, or a website?
