I havn't tried a different mouse, that is apart from having replaced it recently with a new one of the same make and model, and still get these infrequent mouse pointer lockups. I can't really try the standard mouse, as there isn't any room for a mouse mat in front of my keyboard, but I'll buy a different make of scrollball mouse, and see if the problem goes away. I have got a USB Median tablet that uses the aiptec driver, and will try that when the ps2 mouses pointer locks up the next time. It'll be interesting to see if I've got pointer control with that. Thanks for your reply Tim.
