Frozen mouse pointer

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

On Bootup, tho not consistently, the pointer is locked in center
screen and can't be moved.

Rebooting, sometimes twice, resets the problem and all is then ok.

Would appreciate info on what might cause and is there a more
permanent fix??

TIA

I've experienced similar problems, and I feel they may be caused
by a damaged file or storage area. Running defrag followed by
chkdsk is generally a good idea.
