    HI!
    • Usual suspects: Have you installed a new program, added a new device or made other significant changes? When a new problem crops up, you can usually find the cause in recent changes.

    • Substitution: Try using a different mouse to see what happens. If the problem goes away, the solution is simple. If it doesn't, you've ruled out the possibility that the mouse is defective.

    • Connections: If the mouse connects using a USB port, try a different port.

    wow! changed USB ports and it unfroze!!! That just dosn't happen without a restart!! That was probably it!
    It was hard to pull out, can that port be cleaned? How to test? Just try another item in the port? We are on a horse ranch, lots of dust, I've been hesitant to open it up to clean (Leave well enough alone theory) in case I would move something and create a problem.
    I can't believe you guys know computers so throughly you can fix problems online.!! I know this is an old system that should be replaced, really can't afford to do that for awhile.
    MAJORGEEKS ARE AWSOME!!!!
    THANKS SO MUCH!!
