    Mouse cursor freezes but focus moves on Vista Ultimate x64

    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone had stumbled on the following problem or maybe had
    ideas on how to remedy this situation:

    Twice now my mouse cursor (the actual icon) has frozen at some point on the
    screen but when I move my physical mouse Windows reacts as tho' everything
    is normal. This means that when I press the Ctrl key with "Show mouse
    position when I press ctrl" option checked the "mouse" moves around
    normally. Also when I hover the invisible focus point over a link the cursor
    turns to the hand icon, even tho' the actual icon is still in the same spot.

    The only anomaly to this has been when I move the focus point over the
    border of a window (the icon becomes the <-> icon of resizing) and I press
    down the left mouse button and the icon actually gets drawn in the proper
    place whilst I am holding down the button + resizing the window. But as soon
    as I let go of the left mouse button the icon gets drawn in the same
    position it was previously.

    Both times I have had to reboot my Windows in order to get it working
    properly (a logout-login didn't work, and there is no "restart X" on Windows
    ;-). I have also tried switching resolutions (*shrug* it has to do with
    drawing the image, so I thought it might work).

    Some specs on my setup:
    Vista Ultimate x64
    Asus P5K Pro motherboard
    nVidia 8600 GTS graphics card
    Logitech MX510 mouse


    I have all the updates from Windows Update + hardware drivers for Asus and
    nVidia. Logitech's pages say they use native drivers in Vista.



    Cheers,

    Jan Wikholm

    I can't help either. This problem started with an apparent "failure" of the
    mouse--it worked sporadically. Checking USB devices, showed that all was
    "OK". Since then I have given up on the external mouse, but now there are
    problems even when I use the built-in mouse. My system freezes, though the
    mouse pointer can be moved, and I have to shut down and restart.

    This is a common problem that is well documented although no definite
    solutions.
    I have updated my BIOS, removed unnecessary startup programs and
    services, removed user account control, checked for malware etc and
    ruled them out and have the same problem. Someone has suggested that it
    has to do with low video memory although that doesn't explain why I have
    to reboot.
