Cursor Freeze

How can I determine the cause of cursor freeze? It happens after I have been running for awhile. It lasts for about a minute then the cursor is free for 30 seconds. When I reboot it goes away.

heat can be a problem, have you checked the temperature? and also anti virus scanning? or press control+alt+del to task manager and checked programs running, maybe too many at that time?internet connected?mouse okay?tested different kind of mouse?a reformat and windows reinstallation will be the last resort...

Think simple. Did you defrag and cleanup your HD? XP does not like a scattered/littered HD. If it still happens, get a PS/2 mouse and plug it in if you have a PS/2 port.
