1 out of 10 times, my mouse freezes while scrolling down using the "down arrow" button only. It never locks scrolling up, across, or down using the slider bar, only the "down arrow" button on the lower right-side of my screen. Once the mouse freezes, the PC is locked-up completely. Cntrl-Atl-Del is of no effect, etc. Cold reboot is always necessary.

Are you running the driver that came with the mouse? If so, have you tried uninstalling that software and just using the windows compatible driver?

The mouse itself may be bad... try it on another computer and see if it does the same thing. if so, then replace the mouse. if not, then it's gotta be a driver issue.

Remove the mouse - both physically and logically. Reload the mouse drivers. Clean the tracking ball.
