Intermittent mouse freeze

by zookeeperz9 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I’ve been having problems with my trackmouse. It doesnt respond sometimes, for short periods or long. The cursor will move on its own sometimes. I’ve tried plugging in my serial mouse and it wont move the cursor either. The buttons will work on the mouse, but the movement gets interrupted. I’ve tried reinstalling the software and using other drivers to no avail. I get the same result whether its in the ps2 or usb port. I have no conflicts showing, the ps2 port uses irq 12. I’m thinking I might have a mother board or BIOS problem. Pentium2 Win98 Phoenix BIOS. This has been going on for a long time, but seems to have worsened. I keep my PC clean and secure…no spyware, use a regcleaner, Norton and Windows up to date. Right now my mouse is mostly working, but freezes for a second or two. Eventually it will freeze altogether. Sometimes defrag will bring it around. I’ve searched google for similar problems and havent found any.
